Let a few fires burn 🔥

If you’re at the top of the tech food chain, everyone comes to you with their problems.

And everything is always urgent and important.

Except, is it?

Once you step back and breathe, you’ll see that not all fires are equally important.

To navigate this, you need a compass to know which ones to fight and which to let burn (your strategy).

There are going to be low-impact issues that you should deliberately let simmer.

If you jump on every problem that comes your way, you’ll have no free time for strategic work.

And at the top, strategic work has a way higher productivity multiplier than firefighting.

Best regards,
