We Live Forward, but Understand Backward Govafy.com I was recently reflecting on how quickly technology—especially AI—is reshaping our expectations of productivity. It’s easy to look at the manual workflows of five or ten years ago and label them "inefficient." But there’s a nuance we shouldn't miss: Efficiency today does not mean the workflows of the past were wrong. At the time, those processes were the gold standard. They required individual attention, human touch, and the specific tools available to solve the problems of that era. We shouldn't mistake evolution for previous incompetence. As we adopt 2026's AI-driven workflows, we aren't just "fixing" the past; we are building on it. We live forward, but we only truly understand the value of the journey when looking backward. What’s a process you used to swear by that has since been transformed? #AI #FutureOfWork #Productivity #Leadership #BusinessEvolution
