Today, we understand the consequences of interruptions and multitasking when building something. But, there is a big boss here, like the final boss of our favorite video game: optimization.

We know the feeling when a tool we use starts to decline in efficiency. We notice how its entropy scales and the problems appear. At that moment, our mind builds a gap between the tool and the carrier, like two external and disconnected objects. In this letter, we’ll explore this pattern in relation to the over-identification with a tool.

Like a muscle, we seek the failure point to grow. We can move to the edge of failure to grow. Failure, regret, pain, mistakes, errors, bottlenecks, all of them are opportunities, they are everywhere. In both the positive and negative events of our lives, we always find growth.

Remember the last time you held a belief to such an extreme that a conversation with others turned into the art of war. Welcome to the closed mode of the mind!

All humans are moving by meaning and we will discover here where that meaning is. Sometimes we follow role models, tools or frameworks like a lamp that contains a genie that will tell us where we need to go, the result of this external direction is to stay in the same place.
