Great post - thank you for this!

I think time management (and the 80:20 rule is definitely part of this) is one of the most valuable skills in a professional environment. I feel like it’s a basic everything else can build on. Oftentimes it is left for everyone to learn on the job, rather than teaching the fundamentals initially and increasing productivity for everything that follows. I loved the principal of having one(!) master list and moving no more than 10 issues to your daily list.

Anyways, looking forward to reading more!

I like like this post :-) I didn't know this principle before!

I think the most valuable skill is perseverance. The ability to stick with a project, to try and see it through, with the understanding that failure is the stone the path to success is paved with, that is a truly valuable skill. I do agree with you that the ability to prioritize is very important.

Keep it up Sahil, this post has been fun to read, I can't wait for the next one.

Have a good weekend ^^

Hmm very interesting. Perseverance is definitely also up there, I do agree with your points! Just wondering whether it's a skill or more of a mindset? Tbh, I dont even know if a differentiation can be made.

Anyways, thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to comment. I know I can count on you!
