Well I may have not mastered saying no yet. My wife on the other hand almost has. Getting sucked into black holes does not seem to be a major concern right now either.

By black holes I mean projects that either you want to do or someone else wants you to do that will become way more than they appeared to be before starting them. You know, a project that seems pretty cut and dried but turns into one problem after another ad nauseum. Who needs that aggravation?

I just outsource what I can't do. For example I no longer work on my truck unless its something simple.
