In the real world, the opposite of a good idea can also be another good idea, and sometimes the best solution involves contradictory approaches.

Taking an inventory of how you spend your time can reveal how much time is wasted on unproductive activities, often without your awareness.

Spending more time on a project doesn't always yield better results; sometimes, setting time constraints can lead to more focused and effective outcomes.

Wasted time is a concept that can be reframed; it occurs when you're not present in the moment, distracted by thoughts of the past or future, rather than fully engaging with what is happening.

Mistakes can be productive; sometimes, the initial false dawn of a solution can lead to breakthroughs after much effort, as was the case in a project I worked on for two years.

Time is not free; every decision we make has an opportunity cost. We need to be mindful of how we spend our time and ensure it aligns with our strategic goals.

The best opportunities often lie in our collective blind spots, which may appear to be bad ideas or unimportant.

The decisions that seemed like the worst business choices often turned out to be the best, especially when they were aligned with core values.

I find that many talented individuals often neglect to spend time thinking about what they should work on, which is a critical aspect of productivity.
