The Soup of Wall Street

32. Is It Effective or Just Useful?

Soup Martinez

We’ve been sold the idea that more tools = more productivity. But what if the “helpful” things—email apps, calendar pings, handwritten parking notes—are actually making life harder, not better?

In this episode, we talk about the difference between being useful and being effective. Why Warren Buffett doesn’t pay dividends. Why deleting your email app might be the best decision you’ll ever make. And why asking strangers not to park on public streets is… not a strategy.

Turns out, doing less might get you a whole lot further.
