#1 - The Startup - How Focus Affects Progress

Hey Hackers:

I've released my first newsletter @ https://thestartup.substack.com/p/focus.

Topic: The importance of focus

Here are a few extracted ideas below:

1 - Narrow your scope

Work smart, not hard sound's cliché but is vital for effectiveness - e.g. Pareto's Principle:

Learning to focus our efforts on the right tasks can make us over 4x more effective.

2 - Focused Efforts

Clutter = any new venture that doesn’t exclusively contribute to our desired outcome.

With our time and energy being finite - clutter prevents progress because it distributes magnitude.

3 - Team Implications

The more generalised the task, the more generalised the skillsets required. This places unrealistic expectations on generalists to keep up with specialists.
