The Art of High Value Work

_{"Before you work harder on something, identify the leverage point. Working smarter is the most valuable form of working harder.” — Shane Parrish}

A common trap creators fall into is believing more is better.

That just working harder or optimizing their systems will get them the results they want…

But this approach is fundamentally flawed.

Efficiency is not the same as effectiveness.

It's not about your quantity of output or how streamlined your system is; it's about being impactful where it counts.

This is why finding leverage as a creator can be so powerful.

• Look for the one-to-many opportunities.

• Be comfortable with delayed gratification.

• Plant seeds, even while knowing the payoff is uncertain.
