Mountain or Molehill

More about Mountain or Molehill

A cartoon illustration depicting "Mountains or Molehills" and the hyper-dramatized taxonomy of problem-sizing. The left side shows a "Massive Problem" as a tall, snow-capped mountain with climbers, a tent, and a helicopter, labeled as "MOUNTAIN". This problem "features actual glaciers, avalanches, and Sherpas gasping for air. Base camp is at risk. Needs real planning." The right side shows a "Perceived Catastrophe" as a small molehill on fire, with a tiny mole in a hard hat and shovel next to it, and a thimble for scale. A news crew with microphones and cameras surrounds the molehill, and a sign reads "ABEMERY ACCIDENT LIVE!". This perceived catastrophe "requires full hazmat suit deployment and 24/7 news coverage." In the middle, a person wearing a shirt that says "Overthinker" sits cross-legged, holding their head in their hands, looking distressed. An arrow labeled "The process of 'Making a Mountain...'" points from the massive mountain to the molehill on fire, which is engulfed in flames and labelled, "WHAT I AM CURRENTLY FOCUSING ON". The overall style is hand-drawn.
