Chapter 8 | How to Judge Whether a Problem Is Worth Solving

Not every clear problem deserves attention. Good judgment considers value, cost, timing, leverage, and opportunity cost.

Core idea: Problem selection is itself a high-leverage capability because attention is always limited.

How to read it: treat the chapter as a working frame. Identify the situation it describes, the mistake it warns against, and the standard it asks you to build into your own system.

Static practice: Score one problem from 1 to 5 on value, urgency, leverage, cost, and controllability.
