Intentionality, not time, is the real bottleneck

most people are so utterly bottlenecked on intention management that time is barely relevant at all

Time management is secretly ___________ management. (Fill in the blank)

...except insofar as also being under intense time pressure is making it hard to untangle intentions! but increasingly people have enough self-directedness at work that they actually could pause & breathe & untangle if they knew how

@p_millerd's Pathless Path points at how learning intention management is going to be increasingly necessary for many people! the time is all there, but the choices of what to even be aiming towards are fractal and endless & if your intentions conflict…

The 10 percent of the brain myth is actually onto something! ...but it's not that 90% isn't not in use—it's that... most people have 45% fighting another 45%, so on net there's 10% useful capacity.

so there's an increasingly important skill here "intention management" is too clunky of a name... I'm just talking in terms of "intentionality" instead

intentionality, not productivity
