The internet is telling me to remove my head from the brick wall

The best designers and the best programmers arenít the ones with the best skills, or the nimblest fingers, or the ones who can rock and roll with photoshop or vim, they are the ones that can determine what just doesnít matter. Thatís where the real gains are made.

Most of the time you spend is wasted time on things that just donít matter. If you can cut out the work and thinking that just doesnít matter youíll achieve productivity youíve never imagined. Itís there if you just donít pay attention to the things that donít matter.
