The goal is to process from time used examining the problem to time used examining the solution. Negative thinkers tend to stop with the habit, or find other work. I imagine sport coaches work in a similar way.
Yes, not to side track the issue too much, but using a current topic, opiates, the addiction, the effect on society, and how we are trying to combat it.
All need their own scrutiny for certain, but believing we can find a solution, based on fighting the use of a drug, will not really resolve the issue to begin with.....and lord knows, our intentions are just and worthy, but that alone just can't do it.
John Wooden was a very successful basketball coach, left his mark on many.....
I remember one of his observations, kinda goes against conventional wisdom, as in, "don't sweat, or worry over the small stuff"....put your energies into the BIGGER picture.
Where he said, if you in fact do worry over the little things,attend to them first, then their won't be any BIG things, to take care of ( or sumtin like that )

This is great and prudent advice in getting financially sound.
Pay off your small debt FIRST, when those are gone, you now have all your resources to tackle the bigger debt.
BTW, you sound like a good boss, setting a good example.....sorely missing in the little bit of exposure I had in the corporate world.
