Scientists gave people a Lego structure and asked them to make it stronger. Almost everyone added more bricks. Almost nobody removed the weak ones. It's called addition bias.
When something isn't working, your brain defaults to adding. New habit. New tool. New system. New hire.
But the people who actually fix things subtract first. They remove what's dragging everything down before they add anything new. Your calendar. Your tech stack. Your morning routine.
Your business. The answer is usually less, not more. Subtract before you add. Every time.
