20s: Learn to be effective. Solve for avoiding futility (effort classifiable as ‘wasted’ a priori)
30s: Learn to be productive. Solve for raw energy. NOT efficiency: that’s for robots
40s: Learn to act with nerve. Solve for consequentiality. I have 6y left to figure out how 😱

Sorta, in some contexts, but it’s basically the diffference between revenue or free cash flow and margins. I’d rather have $100 in revenue at 10% margin than $10 in revenue at 20%

Interesting; I did nerve in my 20s, am doing effectiveness now in my 30s. Guess I won't be productive until my 40s…

you might be in trouble. aging hits productivity much more than it hits nerve or effectiveness.
