Ask HN: What are your understated superpowers?

[_4570]

Hey HN! What are some things that you've put conscious effort into improving about yourselves, that really paid off in the long term, and most people around you are unlikely to notice the impact of?

Examples:

- Applying stats heuristically to daily life makes you better at dodging scams and identifying opportunities

- Automating things in a non-programming job makes you achieve crazy productivity vs peers

- Being able to type really quickly drastically cuts down time spent on work emails/chats

- Negotiation skill that turns situations in your favor more often than not

These things can be difficult to notice by yourself because they just seem normal to you. It takes an outside observer to point out that you're exceptional at some fairly small or commonplace task.
