nishio I was discussing with @takahiroanno and @0xtkgshn who came early before the lunch meeting about how to perform in a busy state, One of them said, “There are two types of tasks managerial task X and creator task Y. If you do X, you can’t do Y on that day”.

nishio If I reinterpret it in my own words, X is important to make decisions quickly and act quickly, so the gear in the mind rotates fast. On the other hand, Y needs to accumulate best moves with an eye on long-term value, without being in a hurry and aiming for quick wins. In other words, the gears need to slow down. This transition is difficult. - Parable of the Gears - Throw the ball back.

nishio On a related note, I recall shokai’s point that doing tasks efficiently creates shitty apps at high speed.
