Addition by Subtraction: Why Finishing Teaches What Planning Can’t | Monday Morning Live (Abridged)

Monday Morning Live (Abridged) — Addition by Subtraction, Focus, and Finishing This is an abridged edit of my Monday Morning Live at ValorCraft Workshop — trimmed for clarity, with long pauses, filler, and dead space removed. ValorCraft Workshop isn’t just a physical shop. It’s a mental one too. This channel is where I think publicly — not to teach, not to optimize productivity, but to work through ideas in real time and document how they take shape. In this session, I explore: 🔹 Why planning feels productive — but finishing actually teaches 🔹 How trying to give 80% effort to everything overdrafts your time and attention 🔹 The idea of addition by subtraction — removing inputs to increase results 🔹 Why February is about clearing the docket and finishing unfinished work 🔹 How focus, constraints, and finishing build momentum This Live follows my recent Substack essay, “What Finishing Teaches That Planning Can’t,” and continues a cycle I use for creative clarity: Think → Write → Talk → Think again. You don’t have to start at the beginning. You can jump into the cycle anywhere. If you make things — or think about why you make them — you’re in the right place. 🔗 Related: Substack (writing): https://valorcraftworkshop.substack.c...
