The Steve Jobs quote likely originated here:
> People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.
It feels like the author extended this specifically to “the other good ideas” which is always true because it includes both good and bad ideas.
Yes fills time. No makes time.
