    Honestly I don’t get overwhelmed by infosec. Though my personality is to take on more projects than I can chew and that can sort of overwhelm my time - I don’t get emotionally overwhelmed easily though. Some of that I credit to my personality but I also credit how organized I am, it helps me keep track of everything on my plate and daily prioritization. Inbox Zero, using a task manager, having a personal Wiki (i.e. Obsidian/Simplenote) all help with this.

    In the early days of my career I heard that sec people were the “no”-sayers in the group. I have learned over time that we don’t need to be. Instead, we become the - “let us find a way to do that securely”-sayers. It’s about creating that we’re-a-team mentality.

      Good points and thank you for your input. What kind of TaskManager do you use? Any system, or just simple list?
