Make space as a passenger

The value of public transit (bus, plane, train) is that you get to be a passanger.

Think about how much effort it is to drive. Even the mundane task of freeway driving involves focus, constant scanning & evaluating information, and decision making.

The value of being a passenger is that you actually get to think.

Look for settings (like public transit) or people (like competent team members you can delegate your “driving" to) to free up more space so you can think more.

Then use that extra time to think about the problems/opportunities that lie around the bend, instead of always being sucked into what lies directly in front of you on the road you are currently driving on.
