What's this?

I would call that learning how to adult quite spectacularly.


We all have our skills. And we all have things we hate and/or suck at. Figuring out what things fall in which bucket, then managing your life around that is incredibly "adult."

Being an adult isn't necessarily about doing a bunch of stuff you hate (although there is certainly some of that). It is absolutely about making sure necessary things get done so your business, career, relationships, home, family and even your own physical and mental well-being function properly. There are lots of different ways to accomplish that, depending on your strengths and weaknesses.
