I suffer from this. Recently someone told me,

"Don't think of "problems" in the extreme sense. A problem to solve could be as simple as increasing efficiency of something by 1%."

That reminds me of Star Trek TNG Geordi boosted the engine efficiency 1% or so.

Data asked why he is working on the engines Geordi says the engineer on another starship had his engines at something like 95%.

Then Geordi asks the computer for an update on the Enterprise's warp engine and the computer replies the engine efficiency increased a bit due to his changes.
