For me it was all about discipline and time/task management. These things could’ve been taught to me at a young age and my young success would’ve been dramatically multiplied and compounded over the years. Unfortunately I didn’t have a mentor, let alone one who could’ve communicated these things in a way I would’ve understood. Pruning away useless tasks (at all levels of abstraction) is part of it for sure. That can be generalized into effective prioritization. Mind blowing that absolutely none of these most important meta-tasks were never presented let along taught to me.
