If a planner becomes attached to the work they plan, it is easy to lose their objectivity. To be a planner, one needs to step back and view the work from a third-person perspective without getting caught up in the planning process. The cost of a project that has lost its objectivity is severe and leads to regrets. However, it is not too late to develop attachment after evaluating the planning results. Creators must work with attachment, but planners need to remain objective to maximize their chances of success. Adhesives are only useful when sticking different materials together; in other situations, nothing is more inconvenient than glue. In planning, attachment functions similarly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The advice to concentrate on one thing instead of trying to excel at many is valid, as it’s also challenging to master a single skill. If you neglect the other essential background abilities necessary to enhance that one skill, you will be unable to overcome your limitations. For a top-level skill to thrive, the supporting average abilities for that skill must also develop concurrently. Concentration should not be an excuse to avoid or ignore what’s important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
