Sweating the small stuff. And it's all small stuff.

The expression is "Don't sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff". But for professors there appears to be a lot of it. I try to stay on top of all the little requests for my time "do you have a moment?" Collegues, students etc they all need "just a minute" resiltkng in a very fractured day. If I am rested I can refocus better than today when I am just super tired (teaching & public talk yesterday).

And I am trying to finish some papers that I have 99% of? Frustrating. So I am sweating the small stuff. Namely how to get rid of a flood of it. Suggestions welcome.
