🤝 Deep Thinking as a Team Sport
Deep thinking is no longer a solo activity. Modern organizations achieve superior results when teams think deeply together rather than relying on individual star performers.
This requires commitment signals like:
- Synchronized schedules
- Showing up together (similar to sports teams training)
Building quality habits is like engineering code for humans:
- Takes weeks to establish meaningful habits (not quick fixes)
- High performers protect crucial habits by 'stacking' them together
- Dropping one habit affects many others
- When other people are involved in your habits, the social commitment makes them much harder to abandon
