I think this would be better framed as a continuum, like most complex topics. People can decide how much they want to try solving the whole problem, versus just choosing a piece of it to focus on. And people can decide how seriously to take short timelines in choosing what work to do.
There’s also a process of taking short timelines seriously on an intellectual level without letting that propagate to the emotional level. I think this is preferable to not taking them seriously at all.
I take short timelines seriously on the intellectual level, and that’s bleeding over to the emotional level and increasingly causing me stress. But not too much.
I do worry that people feel like they have to choose whether to take short timelines seriously or not, and that’s probably biasing people toward not taking them as seriously as they deserve.
There’s always a trade-off between simplicity and nuance. I don’t know if more explicitly framing it as a continuum would improve this model, but I’d love to see someone explore this.
