Episode notes

- Valuing direction over speed prevents years wasted by relentless but unfocused activity.

- Get a bird's-eye view of all projects and prioritize which ones align with your chosen direction.
- Eliminate or punt lower-value work so you protect time and energy for top priorities.
Pick One New Habit

- Focus on that one priority rather than juggling many simultaneous goals.
