> It still costs them the same for a day of my work, whether they slow me down or not. Yes, and they know it too. People often value your attention more than your productivity, and with good reason.

Or how some input you give from meeting with the CEO could impact the direction of the company. Your attention is probably more valuable than your productivity more often than you think.
