  The most important thing to learn is how to decide what to do. This is far more important than the number of hours, or your skill level. A great programmer writing the wrong code has zero productivity. This is the most important advice for getting things done: deciding what to do. Sam Altman said something along these lines recently, he’s bang on.

This is strong advice - I’m saving this to refer to later. Thank you. This whole post is great, and you were insightful to see the real question I was asking, and answer it. =)
