Your attention please
Jason from 37signals writes that he thinks time was his most limited resource but highlighted the difference between giving your time vs your attention.
How many of us give(sell) our time to our employer? Are we giving our attention that whole time?
How does this change when you work for yourself or if your compensation is tied directly to your performance (which we assume requires your attention)?
My favorite part is:
The greatest things you make and do are the ones that get your full attention. It’s helpful to take an inventory of what you’re doing and then ask yourself where you’re spending your best attention. You can fill your time, but you have to spend your attention. How you spend it is probably a better measure of priority than anything else.
