"Worry about things you can control and don't worry about things you can't do anything about." "Everything has imperfections and always will have some. You can't remove all imperfections, focus on the ones that come in the way of enjoyment/utility and can be fixed." "80% is good enough." These are the mottos I live by now. My life couldn't be more simpler and stress free and worry free. I am an ex-Systems Engineer and went through "life-changing" medical episode a few years ago. I used to be like you in both work and life, always looking for the problems to solve, improving systems, and in general being hyper and perfectionist and always stressed because of these. Everything changed during the medical recovery. It made me realize my own mortality and how fragile life can be. And, instead of fixing things, I need to focus more on enjoying things as they are.
