The people who say I don't really get angry aren't more even-tempered, they've just routed their anger into productivity, cleaning, and overcommitment so reliably that they no longer recognize it when it's happening - Silicon Canals

Psychology says the people who come across as genuinely disciplined aren't grinding through willpower or running on motivation, they're the ones who quietly removed the decisions from their day a long time ago, and what looks like iron self-control from the outside is just a life designed so the hard choice rarely shows up - Silicon Canals

This was especially prevalent in industries like social media advertising agencies, customer services relations, online-focused eCommerce brands and B2B businesses.
