It is amazing how little some people think through what the strategy is of doing anything. It isn't a technical skill; it is just knowing what sequence to do things so I can put in the least amount of effort.

I'm not even that great at board games.

Can you expand on that? What helps where etc. or an example.

Being able to identify the optional action order. I've seen a lot of people do work in the wrong order, requiring a lot of rework.

How to identify and mitigate risk during design. So, you have a plan of you fail a die roll, you know what to do otherwise.

Things like that.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
