🎯 Work is not a game of aiming for 100 points: Why people who manage 30 and 80 points get evaluated
🧠 Introduction | Why is that person always so fast at work?
Even though they do the same work,
there are people who are somehow fast and highly evaluated.
On the other hand,
people who are slow despite working carefully
people who have high completion levels but somehow have a lot of rework
What do you think is the difference?
It is actually simple,
👉 whether or not you are aiming for 100 points
is the answer.
❌ The "100-point trap" that many people fall into
Do you think that work is something you should
finish properly before showing it to others?
But in reality, it often ends up like this:
Spend time creating 100 points
Show it to your boss
Get told, "The direction is wrong"
Almost entirely redo it
...This is painful, isn't it?
Moreover, the biggest damage is,
👉 that it drains your "motivation," not just your "time"
💡 Change your perspective | Work is not a "submission" but a "series of decisions"
Let's change our perspective here.
Work is not a game of delivering a finished product, but
👉 a game of moving decision-making forward
is what it is.
What is necessary for that is,
⚔️ Two weapons: 30 points and 80 points
🪶 30 points: A weapon for aligning direction
Deliver quickly
Rough is fine
But you need to show you're thinking
There is one goal.
👉 To quickly draw out a "that's not it"
🧱 80 points: A weapon for moving forward
The structure is complete
A level where a decision can be made
Details can be unfinished
The goal is,
👉 To draw out a "let's go with this"
⚠️ However... there is a "pitfall" to 30 points
This is quite important.
If you submit 30 points sloppily, this is what happens.
It's unclear what you're trying to say
The direction is unknown
The other person has to do the thinking
👉 The evaluation is basically 0 points
✅ What a truly strong "30 points" is
A good 30 points looks like this.
Actually, you have 80 points in your head
But you intentionally keep it rough
The points you want them to look at are clear
In other words,
👉 It has become the "minimum unit for decision-making"
🔁 How the workflow changes
When you use this mindset, work becomes like this.
1. Confirm direction at 30 points
→ Correct deviations early
2. Make decisions at 80 points
→ Move forward
3. Aim for 100 points if necessary
→ Polish only at the end
🚀 An even more interesting way to use it | "Intentionally breaking" with AI
This is where it gets a bit futuristic.
Give a completed proposal (100 points) to an AI, and
"Please make this 80 points."
"Please make this 30 points."
You dare to "degrade" it.
🧪 Then what happens?
It becomes visible.
Can it still work if you cut parts out?
Where does it fail if you cut parts out?
👉 You can see the "skeleton" of the work
👶 New employee training changes
Normal training is like this.
Show the finished version
→ It ends with "That's amazing."
But with this method,
30 points (bad example)
30 points (good example)
80 points
👉 You can learn "sense" through comparison
🔥 The essence of this way of thinking
In a word,
👉 "Control the resolution, not the degree of completion"
🎯 Summary
Work is not a game of achieving 100 points
Eliminate discrepancies at 30 points, and move forward at 80 points
A good 30 points is a 'state where decisions can be made'
By using AI, this way of thinking can be replicated
✨ Finally
If you
feel that your work is slow
have a lot of rework
are tired from perfectionism
then please try this just once.
👉 Decide that '30 points is enough' and submit it
You will probably be surprised.
The world will start moving more than you thought.
And you will realize.
That work is not about 'completing it', but 'moving it forward'.
