Though ASCE’s 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure gave the nation’s infrastructure its highest-ever overall grade, energy was one of two categories to decrease from the 2021 #InfrastructureReportCard.

I've been collecting @JamesClear quotes about focus for years, and these are my favorites:
1. Focus collapses your options in the short-term, but expands them in the long-term.
2. There are many capable people in the world, but relatively few that focus on what matters.
3. You need focus to become exceptional at anything. You have to be great at saying no. Massive amounts of time and energy are wasted optimizing things that should be left undone.
4. Do less, but better.
5. What looks like a talent gap is often a focus gap. The "all-star" is often an average to above-average performer who spends more time working on what is important and less time on distractions.
6. It sounds so simple, but every project I’ve ever really succeeded on started to come together when I made it my primary focus. “All In” vs “Kinda In."
7. The Paradox of Focus: Make the most of one opportunity and more opportunities come your way. Moving boldly in one direction and more paths will unfold before you. To get more, focus on less.
8. I have a suspicion that most adults (75%+) could pick any skill—excluding sports—and work their way into the top 10% in the world simply by working exclusively on it every day for two years. But almost nobody displays that degree of focus, so we will never know.
9. Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They make choices. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything. The great irony of this is that by limiting your options and remaining focused until you master a skill, you actually expand your options in the long run. Life-changing optionality is a byproduct of providing great value, which can only be achieved through focus.
