Sometimes abundance creates worse decisions because saying no stops feeling necessary.

When resources are tight, every decision gets scrutinised. When they are plentiful, saying no stops feeling necessary, so commitments accumulate without examination and quality drops across everything. Abundance removes the forcing function that used to keep you disciplined, and nothing replaces it unless you do it deliberately.

If things have become easier lately, impose your own limits rather than waiting for circumstances to impose them. Keep choosing as carefully as you did when you had to.
