POOR (Laser Focus)
Type overview
I am broke on distractions and rich on tunnel vision.
POOR is not about wallet balance. It is about resource concentration. Other people scatter attention across a hundred shiny tabs. You compress yours into a beam. Once you decide something matters, noise falls away and the mission gets all the oxygen. You may look detached from status theater and social clutter, but really you are just spending all available power where it counts.
