@chriskrycho this is a good distinction! I also like to think about Will Larson’s category of “snacking” when deciding whether my “puttering” is actually moving me forward lethain.com/work-on-w...
@benmccormick Yep, I like that distinction as well—though I would also say that “snacking” could be in the bucket of “generative work”; it just might not be the most valuable generative work at any given time.
@chriskrycho yes <--leverage--> and <--generativeness--> are different axes, though probably not entirely perpendicular to each other
@benmccormick Yeah, I think that’s right as well. They’re related, even if not identical!
