Impatience (with process! Never with people) will have you throw something in the freezer rather than the fridge to cool it faster. Time-misers all wield impatience. You want to get more done? At some point, you might discover that Impatience might be for you.

Dissatisfaction — my favorite thing about dissatisfaction is that it is the beacon of that which needs improvement. The only thing I find lacking about dissatisfaction is its insufficiency — that one cannot fix what needs fixing with dissatisfaction alone!

Laziness — I aspire to be lazy in the way that the people I know who are extremely effective are frequently surprisingly lazy. A high barrier to action means it's often *really* worth it when you move.

A combination of these three things, held correctly, can actually be a tremendously powerful force for building, change, and general improvement (my lense is tech and engineering obv). As with all virtues, I am of course far behind where I think the best ones are on these points.
