Ben Franklin = harder = luckier. Harv adds smarter in satisficing.
scatterbrain: noun: informal : a person who is forgetful, disorganized, or unable to concentrate or think clearly. “The English, who had raised eccentricity and poor organization to a high art, and placed the scatterbrain on a pedestal, loathed such Middle European things as rules, conventions, and dictatorships.”Simon Winchester. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scatterbrain
To think clearly takes Harv a measure of time PLUS he needs to use write / publish tools. Neither is he an instant genius in ESP… ! A definite limitation is his 24/7 lifetime, especially in the context of his love-levels hierarchy, that is, respect self/others, encourage self/others, challenge self/others — especially the satisfice therein..
A worker produces product — that takes time in wholly hours, and wholistically it takes a lifetime. A ‘mental’ worker produces writ — that takes time in wholly hours, and wholistically it takes a lifetime. .

satisfice
2024oct02 Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met.[1] The term satisficing, a portmanteau of satisfy and suffice,[2] was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in 1956,[3][4] although the concept was first posited in his 1947 book Administrative Behavior.[5][6] Simon used satisficing to explain the behavior of decision makers under circumstances in which an optimal solution cannot be determined. He maintained that many natural problems are characterized by computational intractability or a lack of information, both of which preclude the use of mathematical optimization procedures. He observed in his Nobel Prize in Economics speech that "decision makers can satisfice either by finding optimum solutions for a simplified world, or by finding satisfactory solutions for a more realistic world. Neither approach, in general, dominates the other, and both have continued to co-exist in the world of management science".[7] Simon formulated the concept within a novel approach to rationality, which posits that rational choice theory is an unrealistic description of human decision processes and calls for psychological realism. He referred to this approach as bounded rationality. Moral satisficing is a branch of bounded rationality that views moral behavior as based on pragmatic social heuristics rather than on moral rules or optimization principles. These heuristics are neither good nor bad per se, but only in relation to the environments in which they are used.[8] Some consequentialist theories in moral philosophy use the concept of satisficing in a similar sense, though most call for optimization instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisficing
heuristic
A heuristic[1] or heuristic technique (problem solving, mental shortcut, rule of thumb)[2][3][4][5] is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution.[6][7] Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution.[8][9] Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision.[10][11][12] euristic reasoning is often based on induction, or on analogy[.] [...] Induction is the process of discovering general laws [...] Induction tries to find regularity and coherence [...] Its most conspicuous instruments are generalization, specialization, analogy. [...] Heuristic discusses human behavior in the face of problems [...that have been] preserved in the wisdom of proverbs.[13] — George Pólya, How to Solve It https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic
