Stop Thinking While You Work
Decision-making and execution don't belong in the same moment.
Most operators are exhausted, not from working too hard, but from thinking too much while they work.
Decision-making drains your battery.
Execution is mechanical.
The moment you blur the two, you bleed energy on tasks that should cost you nothing.
The highest performers I've studied don't "think" while they "do."
They think before, then execute with their brain essentially off.
Systems. SOPs. Pre-committed rules.
Not because they're robots but because they've already spent the cognitive capital in advance.
Cognitive load isn't a productivity problem.
It's an architecture problem.
Build the decision once. Execute it a thousand times.
What decision are you still remaking every single day that you should have systematized months ago?
