The principle here is reciprocity, but notice that it is not simultaneous. Unlike the notion of barter, time is allowed to elapse before one deed is repaid by another. Trust is required to bridge that gap. Unlike barter, the exchange is not mechanistic in that it does not place a concrete value on one deed versus another. Rather it is inherently... See more

What we value and
This is an important thing to realize.

Incentive structures don’t map to ultimate high-value results
Our Centaur Future - A RADAR Report
When you think about the future, you spend a little energy now to optimize what will come later
But you can’t optimize systems in a context that’s changing, especially if it’s changing in unpredictable ways. Removing inefficiencies when circumstances are as anticipated means that there isn’t much slack in the system to respond when the unanticipated happens. Optimization is intrinsically brittle , because it’s about closely matching the

Optimization of scarce systems is about past measurement. Optimization of abundant systems is about future outcomes.
If this is true (I believe it is), why do companies focus on time management? Because it’s easier and time is shared, energy isn’t (at least, typically. But it can be if done properly…)
Believing in magic can be an irresponsible thing to do if it leads you to disengage from your material responsibilities– but if you’re a responsible person trying to get meaningful work done, and there’s a real possibility that something wonderful could happen and make everything tremendously better, it’s worth making a little space for, isn’t it?
