Doshi argues you should redesign your work environment (calendar, notifications, meeting habits) to make Leverage work the default and Overhead work the exception. Don't rely on willpower — design the environment.
Doshi: PMs adapt to each launch. The satisfaction of shipping disappears within days, and the pressure to ship the next thing begins immediately. The treadmill makes PM work feel perpetually insufficient.
