Speed matters more than you think
Last updated: 2021-05-12Going fast has unappreciated benefits.
- Speed gets you where you want quicker (obvious).
- Speed not only allows you to complete the same activities faster,
but also unlocks completely new activities. For example, faster
typing unlocks the ability to take a transcript rather than bullet
point notes.
- Speed increases learning by passing through more feedback loops.
- Speed shorterns backlogs. When you do things quicker, you avoid the
overhead that comes from having to postpone tasks until later. You
can simply do them now.
