I think a more stoic approach could alleviate the suffering while still allowing you to brainstorm possible solutions or pathways - just with less turmoil.

Try your best, iterate, explore. Completely detached from success on a timeline. Expect failure and be pleasantly delighted by gradual success.

This is super valuable, thank you.

I've interpreted "be stoic" as "let it slide".

But now I'm going with "don't get caught up arguing with yourself or him."

For example, I'm minimizing meetings that don't impact my execution positively.

I'm convinced the frustration ultimately stems from my attempt to level up.
