The slowest manager in your league is not the one who takes the longest to draft.
It's the one who hasn't built a system. So every Sunday night, they're re-litigating the same decisions from scratch.
Speed of process. Patience of player.

Regardless if a top ranked athlete or not, most of our limitations in sport and/life is the battle of you against you.
Don’t worry about becoming THE best fantasy baseball player. Just get into the habit of becoming the type of fantasy baseball player that is consistent in a process.
Love how Winston Weinberg (@winstonweinberg) describes how most people stop themselves from making better decisions. Same application for how people manage their fantasy baseball teams.
People treat decision making like walking up a flight of stairs. They map out every step in advance, first I’ll do this, then this, then this, before they take the first step.
And then, more importantly, when they are three steps in and can plainly see the path has changed, they refuse to adapt. They keep climbing the way they originally planned. Not because that path is right anymore. Because they don’t want to admit being wrong.
Weinberg's framing for what he does @harvey: building a company is a thousand failures and then a couple successes. You have to fail constantly to succeed at bigger things.
With FAAB, you should try running experiments. Break big bets into smaller ones. Give yourself the opportunity to take lots of shots over the course of the season.
Let yourself be wrong on the way to being right.
Most fantasy managers start by paying close attention to what everyone else is doing, especially playing attention to successful mangers. It's a natural instinct and a form of developing social proof for themselves to feel like they’re on the right path.
However, over time, the goal of that type of exercise is to actually make it obsolete. That forms once you build confidence, and create your own process that works with your strengths.
You need to form your own evidence through action.
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in whatever small way possible.
“Bad companies are destroyed by crisis.
Good companies survive them.
Great companies are improved by them.”
