In many big life choices
I've prioritized low-barrier entry
including graduating hardware then job-hunting software
online dating for relationships
focusing job search on small companies
unwilling to grind leetcode interview skills
and so on—similar behavioral pattern
Results weren't great
Low barrier means low scarcity, low return
Tied to how I manage ability
sprint effort instead of lasting accumulation
Energy swings hard
ALL IN on one goal at a stage
can't balance others
It does let me pick some fruit
but still not the ideal life
Now I want a different way of living
70 points is enough on things
Don't be too serious, don't overforce
Don't spend all energy on one thing
A little every day statistically beats last-minute cramming
Human society runs on this; individuals should too
It also fits the peaceful, unhurried life I want
I'd rather start executing far in advance
Daily progress looks small
but I spend more time
I persist longer
Subtle built ability hits the target
steadier and truer than grinding at the last minute
