> Defer tasks that are not on the critical path

The article discards the usefulness of this point, but I’d argue this is the precursor to better prioritisation, and through it to higher productivity. Even if you strictly can’t “speed up” your brain, _what_ you work on is important. If pressure forces you to select higher impact tasks, then that alone is worth the trade off imo.
