Agree! To me it comes down to intention and attention.

Depending on my *intention*, I should devote more or less of my *attention* to one thing vs another.

Another way to think about it is essential vs incidental attention, which I borrow from essential vs incidental complexity [0].

Many things require attention, or it doesn't perform correctly. Essential attention. Many, many more things don't require my full attention, and they'll still perform adequately. They satisfice.

Farm out the tasks that require only incidental attention.
