Unoptimise.

Optimisation can kill the magic.

The magic of Starbucks was that you could go there and work without worrying about how long you sit. The magic of Apple was that they would take risks and make products that would delight you. With optimisation strategies, the magic is gone.

What about your life and your work? Do your projects have breathing space? Can you add play to them? Can you pursue some things just for the fun of it?

If you want, you can make more space and let your projects breathe.
