There is no person that knows nothing
In life, there isn’t a single person that knows everything and there is no person that knows nothing. It’s not too late to learn because you just need to develop that interest, talk to people, share with them what you have and learn from them. There is no breakthrough in this world if you are isolated, you can only make a breakthrough by talking to people.

Eliminate the task
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is eliminate the task.
Downsize. The rooms you don't have, don't need to be cleaned.
Donate. The items you don't own, don't need to be organized.
Delete. The projects you don't take on, don't need to be finished.
Is this a problem that needs to be solved? Or is it a problem that can be eliminated altogether?

But life is not a hallucination. You still have to deal with things. A healthy perspective can lessen the burden, but so can taking action. A problem that is solved is one that you don't need to mentally reframe.

The key to persuasion is to start from a place of curiosity
Sometimes we push on our beliefs so hard that we forget to try to understand where the other person is coming from. We make assumptions about them without knowing their baseline, which takes away our chance to find a middle ground. The key to persuasion is to start from a place of curiosity. Ask questions. Be inquisitive, not judgmental. You may find that you're not as far apart as you think.
