Pulling people out of the river

Stop.

It’s easier to fix the urgent thing, the loudest problem.

You know what seems urgent now, even though they don’t move the needle in the long run. Those things you can’t ignore forever.

A lot of problems that scream can either be solved as they pop up or become obsolete when we address the underlying cause.

The hard part is piercing through the noise and finding why the noise exists in the first place.

The hard part is solving the root cause. It’s harder. It takes longer. But it’s worth the time it takes.
