Personal Categories

I realized something about myself today.

In most circumstances, I believe tools are the answer. Not more continuous effort. Not more attention. Not more people.

Tools are what I do. It’s how I think. It’s what I build. It’s what I apply to problems.

I’d rather spend four hours building the tool that will work forever than 10 minutes doing it manually (again, and again, and again).

So that puts me in a category. I guess I have to embrace that category.

The more personal categories you know, the more grace you can give yourself, and the less judgment you have for others.
