A batch of the best highlights from what Saif's read, .
When shaping, we focus less on estimates and more on our appetite. Instead of asking how much time it will take to do some work, we ask: How much time do we want to spend? How much is this idea worth? This is the task of shaping: narrowing down the problem and designing the outline of a solution that fits within the constraints of our appetite.
Make time for insightful creative work- To get a high leverage task done (which tend to get procrastinated a lot because demand discipline for long duration), fix a time for it in the calendar on a day with least amount of distractions. Before that day, finish your N and O tasks so your mind gets freed up and can’t trick you with quick sense of placebo productivity through small & simple tasks.
X is, of course, the idea they want to sell you. Since I'm honest with you, I’m no different. For example, in this book, I want to sell you on the idea of useful and useless thoughts. But there’s a difference. I’m giving you my perspective—nothing more. It’s up to you to decide what you’re going to do with it.
