I try to collect such thoughts into a coherent catalog, learn from them and practice the insight I receive.

The name of the game is increasing operational capacity. Be able to do more things, better and faster and more efficiently. The name of the game is also increasing attention span. I catch myself when my attention drifts away; unfortunately it's pretty low right now at less than 10 minutes. I'm working on increasing my attention span to >10min, before increasing it to even longer durations.
