Insightful framing. The hydra vs dragon distinction cuts to the core of why so many people feel productive yet unfulfilled. I've definitelycaught myself treating urgent inbox stuff as accomplishment when really it's just treading water. The test that stuck with me most is asking if the work evaporates or compounds, that's a practical filter to actually use daily.

Thank you! I think one of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled was convincing us that motion meant progress.
Brilliant perspective. There’s great treasures that the dragon hordes, and hordes for a reason.
Thank you! Among those scaly hordes is some serious loot jealously hoarded.
Serious loot indeed if you know what you are looking for.
If you don’t slay the dragon, it might slay you!

Man can slay his dragon but so too must he learn to walk away from its corpse.

Love the analogies here, made me think of Magic, The Gathering (which has both hydras and dragons)
Thank you! That (among other things) was definitely on my mind as I wrote it
