This could alternatively be titled the Thinks-they're-Smart Guy Productivity Pitfalls. The "smarter, not harder" mantra being misapplied can be a classic case of a lack of intelligence (which is bad) and a lack of foresight (which is worse). And no, you don't need a super intelligence to have foresight; just some experience and a willingness to listen to people who are smarter than you without your pride getting in the way. If I knew what I know now when I was 18-19, I would have slapped myself upside the head and say, "You idiot! You know nothing! Stop pretending that you do and you'll actually get something done!"
