Screenshot essay titled 'Reasons You're Likely Perfecting the Wrong Things' discussing the importance of aligning tasks with goals to enhance productivity. It highlights three key reasons for misalignment: 1. Getting lost in details without a clear vision, emphasizing the need for a 'north star' to prioritize critical tasks. 2. Perfectionism leading to focus on non-essential elements rather than core objectives, advocating for rating tasks by their impact. 3. The sunk cost fallacy, where investment in misaligned work hinders progress, encouraging abandonment of ineffective tasks. The essay concludes with the formula 'Alignment + Effort = Impact'.

Our greatest failures usually come from ignoring the big picture.

Let's dig into reasons for taking purpose-driven action, and what you can do to keep the big picture in mind.
