272: Feeling Behind
Under the Radar
The Difference Between Could and Should
The difference between 'could' and 'should' is something that the speaker has had to wrestle with in their own life. They have realized that just because they can do something, doesn't mean they should do it. They believe that their imagination is a powerful resource, but it can also be dangerous if they turn their list of 'could do' into a list of 'should do.' They have hundreds of ideas for their apps, but they have to remind themselves that the app is fine as it is and adding all the imagined features may actually harm the app. The speaker has learned to question whether something is a true 'should' or just a 'could.' They believe that there is a space to think about the difference between a 'could' and a 'should' and to avoid the pressure of constantly feeling behind.
