I take it you're not counting yourself in that group? Have you already learned everything that would benefit you immediately?

"Everything" and "Everything that would benefit you immediately" are not the same thing. But I don't think there's much to gain from more bickering here, let me just retract my comment.
I try to make those tradeoffs consciously. If I decide x is valuable but boring, these days I'll measure it against other priorities, if it wins I force myself to do it.
So I try. It's an acquired skill which I'm still working on.
