🤝 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
