I agree, and I can actively feel myself slipping (and perhaps more critically, not learning new skills I would otherwise have been forced to learn). It's a big problem, but somewhat orthogonal to "what is the quickest way to solve the task currently in front of me."

That depends on if you ignore the future. You are never just solving the problem in front of you; you should always act in a way that propagates positivity forward in time.

Which needs to be balanced with "How do I maintain my ability to keep solving tasks quickly?"

The thing i struggle with is I feel like it’s hard to lock into which skill to learn properly. Which so much changing so quickly and it becoming easy to learn things superficially.
