Needs examples and worked calculations. I can’t tell if it’s obvious or not—I’ve only ever heard the softer/more complete version—“put your effort into the most important thing that needs more resources”. Uncertainty could play a part here, but for most cases, simple declining returns to effort, and changing relative importance as “the most important” gets partly addressed cover the need to vary.
Likewise, the difference between urgent and important leads to some diversity in effort. In order to optimize for the long term, you have to GET TO the long term.
