"They cut through complexity like it's nothing, make decisions that pan out years later, and somehow have time for the things that actually matter while everyone else is drowning in busy work. I used to think it was just raw intelligence-that these people were simply born smarter. But after building two companies and spending way too much time studying high performers, I've realized something: the difference isn't just processing power. It's what they choose NOT to do."
"They see through the noise in a way that saves them thousands of hours over a lifetime. Here are seven things they systematically avoid that most people do constantly. 1) They don't engage in pointless arguments online You know that feeling when someone is wrong on the internet and you HAVE to correct them? That burning need to set the record straight in the comments section? Yeah, high-IQ people don't have that."
High-IQ people cut through complexity, make long-term decisions, and prioritize activities that yield real results rather than busy work. They deliberately exclude tasks and obligations that consume time without producing value. They avoid pointless online arguments because such exchanges produce no customers or measurable benefits and rarely change minds. They redirect mental energy toward conversations that move the needle—with team members, customers, or genuinely curious people. They develop an ability to identify time-wasters treated as sacred obligations by others, producing a cumulative savings of thousands of hours over a lifetime.
