- Focus on the important things which create value
- Knowing why can help to judge the correct time/quality input ratio
- Leave twice as much time during estimation
- Create personal deadlines can help one to prioritize
**In Progress**:
- Constantly making specific assumptions towards objective breakdown, and then get corrected by experts
- Aim for 80% completion rather than 100% because work is to create value rather than getting the full mark. And there is no need to be surpassing expectation for the non-important but must-do work
**Post-mortem**:
- 3 is a magic number to illustrate points
- Breakthrough ideas could come from another field like philosophy, arts, literature, science
- Learn how to speed read
