Per capita ROI is better than large gross totals.
Total dollars matters much less than dollars per hour. Maximizing value per time is the stated goal. Settling for a schedule completely full of 60% good work means you’ll be constantly busy, and making 40% less than you could be making elsewhere — or that you’re using 40% more of your life than you’d need to accomplish the same results elsewhere.
Value In ➡️ Value Out
If you’re making a salary of 70k. Value your time & energy. They are you. Value yourself. It’s your Life Energy.
Other applications:
- Modeling the heck out of an Enterprise Architecture may yield and incredibly robust multidimensional network of interlinking views… but may take 100s to 1000s of person-hours, whereas simple Core EA Diagrams may yield 80% of the effective value using way less than 20% of the work.
