An owner unknowingly scattering people’s attention is a common cause of the question “Why’s everyone working so much but nothing’s getting done? - Jason Fried

When someone takes your time, it doesn’t cost them anything, but it costs you everything.

Problems can usually be solved with simple, mundane solutions. That means there’s no glamorous work. You don’t get to show off your amazing skills. You just build something that gets the job done and then move on. This approach may not earn you oohs and aahs, but it lets you get on with it.

Change makes things worse all the time. It’s easier to fuck up something that’s working well than it is to genuinely improve it. But we commonly delude ourselves into thinking that more time, more investment, more attention is always going to win.
