Stop Caring How Long Things Take
Shownotes
In this episode I discuss why obsessing over speed and efficiency often slows real progress, and how treating time as the main variable causes people to optimize before they understand what actually matters. I explain that in complex domains like learning, creativity, startups, and decision-making, progress comes from uncovering underlying structure, not from doing more work faster. By focusing on depth, constraints, and conceptual insight, the space of possibilities collapses, breakthroughs feel sudden, and real speed emerges as a side effect of understanding rather than effort.
