Venkatesh Rao @vgrPrioritization is the communism of attention management
Do or do not. There is no priority.
Once you make a list of things that need doing, and prioritize them according to any metric at all, you can guarantee you will want to do something that’s not in the list at all.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao @vgrUS history as synecdoche for world history really begins in 1854. Not coincidentally that was peak UK too. Everything before that is mostly provincial backwater prequel stuff. Bleeding Kansas, Perry in Japan, US tech at London world fair (1851) were the turning points.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
