Motif coming up for me: a lot of skill ceilings are much higher than you might think, and worth investing in.
Some skills that you can be way better at:
- Listening to people, and hearing what they're actually trying to say, and gaining value from it
- Noticing subtle things that are important. You can learn to notice like 5 different things happening inside you or around you, that occured in <1 second.
- Being concrete, in ways that help you resolve confusion and gain momentum on solving problems.
- Each stage of OODA Looping is quite deep
- (i.e. "Observe", "Orient", "Decide", and "Act" each have a lot of deep subskills. The depth of "Noticing" is a subset of the overall set of "Observation" skills")
