The best move is sometimes the one that improves your weakest piece. Fix the thing slowing everything down.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Attention drifts naturally toward whatever you are already good at, because that is where progress feels pleasant. Systems, though, run at the speed of their worst part. The knight stuck in the corner, the subject you are failing, the fitness that gives out in the last ten minutes: each of those caps everything else. Lifting the weakest element usually buys more than polishing the strongest.

Name your bottleneck honestly, the thing dragging everything behind it. Give it the next two weeks of spare effort instead of the part you enjoy. It will be less satisfying to practise and will move the whole picture further.
