Edit your life like a video. Cut the dead air, keep the good parts, and stop showing scenes that go nowhere.

Time and attention can be allocated rather than merely spent. Most weeks contain stretches that serve no purpose except habit, commitments kept for reasons that expired, conversations that go nowhere every time, and none of it gets reviewed because nobody sits down to look. Deciding what stays is a real option.

Look at last week honestly and find one recurring thing that added nothing. Remove it, without a speech, and see whether anybody notices. Keep the parts that were good, including the ones that are not productive, since enjoyment is a reason.
