Don’t spend your best energy arguing with people who’ve already decided. Spend it on the work that ends the argument.

Persuading somebody committed to a position takes enormous effort and rarely works, because the position is usually held for reasons that have nothing to do with your evidence. The same hours put into the work itself produce something that cannot be argued with. Results require nobody’s agreement. That is what makes them more efficient than debate.

Notice where your week is going and how much of it is spent on being understood. Cut one of those arguments and move the time into the thing itself. Let the finished version do the talking.
