Our goal is to maximize unregretted user-seconds. Too much negativity is being pushed that technically grows user time, but not unregretted user time.
Good example of strategy in life. 90% positioning, 10% explosive execution when the timing is right. Activity without achievement is a false god of the modern world.

Without "bandwidth" (energy, mental space, time) this becomes difficult, as you move from one constrained state to the next (need to finish x, straight to need to recover etc) without the ability to step into the creative space of exploration required to find higher strategies.
Being strategic (deliberately optimizing for outcomes you prefer) is mostly about stepping out of the state where there are pressures on behavior, while maintaining an interest in the area where those pressures apply.
