Home > work-value-arbitrage
- there's an intuition that a lot of "work" doesn't accomplish anything
- I also get the sense that we aren't investing our work into things that create value
- imagine if we were to spend our time improving our communities somehow
- but I digress
- what if one were to spend all their time on things that were valuable?
- this is the opposite of the feeling that you've wasted your time
- arbitrage relates to the delta between the values of some thing in different places
- but "place" does not need to be spatial
- how much does it take to identify an arbitrage opportunity between waste and value?
- in which the same unit work produces completely different outcomes
- have you ever gotten to the end of a period of work and thought: nothing was accomplished?
- then the opposite is: what if you worked the same on something that mattered?
- this arbitrage is simply: do work on things that matter
