Speed matters more than you think

Going 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.
