Focus on Less to Get More Done
You stay busy all day and somehow finish less of what matters — and the usual advice, do more and try harder, is the one move that reliably makes it worse. This course explains why, using a mechanism traffic engineers have understood for decades: past a certain density a highway carries fewer cars even as more pile on, and the fix is a metering light that deliberately limits how many get on. Your work behaves the same way. Across seven short lessons — drawing on Slow Productivity, Great at Work, and Personal Kanban — you'll learn to see your commitments as traffic, cap how many you keep in motion at once, finish before you start, and pour the freed capacity into doing the few things unusually well. You'll leave with The Deliberate Bottleneck, a one-page lens-and-limit you set for yourself, so you finish more by carrying less.
