One serious comment and one semi-heckle!

> Developing good instincts helps you bias toward action in a useful way. When you are exhausted, you need to have the right habits, the right muscle memory. When I first started answering customer emails, it was kind of terrifying. I would agonize over every word and triple-check to make sure I hadn’t made an embarrasing email. Now, it’s second nature.

I identify with this!! Also - lots of people who are young, new to their job, or overstressed will benefit massively from hearing this concept! That, actually, sure they can't imagine dealing with any MORE volume of Challenging Task X right NOW... but they also can't imagine how much they will CHANGE themselves through training their minds through habit - developing disciplines and knowing the expectations of the role so much that their "gut feelings" about what to do.. are actually just usually right.

> "[Author] really went all-in on the idea that English doesn't even have the right words for the things that make businesses successful... I found this pretty ironic given that the USA... is still going strong in terms of being a haven for entrepreneurs..."

Well, maybe 200 years from now, people be reviving terms that are in common parlance in the U.S. in this century to capture the nuances of meaning that they need then! πŸ€ͺ

I was also thinking about how it will NOT be "synergize"! (:

Do you think much is getting "lost in translation" but just calling it ... "Intuitive feel" ?
