I completely agree and certainly try not to stress,stress in itself is not productive (even in life and death situations), BUT ...

Ultimately I feel a personal obligation to do a good job - I just find it more enjoyable to have committment and while what I do is not a matter of life and death it is a matter of people getting on with their lives and everyone wants to be getting on with their lives.

By improving our processes and automating those things that can be automated we have more time and money that leads to choices. The choice to study the choice to enjoy holidays and the choice to learn new things.

So by choosing to be committed to even the simplest of work you are choosing in someways to support progress and through that the important things in life.

That's my personal take on it.
