Longterm Productivity

[Birth & Babies – VIII]

Efficiency is about getting more finished in less time. It’s optimizing output.

No one tells a pregnant mother to be more efficient in delivering her baby. Under many circumstances, efficiency is simply not helpful. And it’s in those circumstances that we see just how unhealthy efficiency can be. “Hurry up, get that baby out!”

Balancing the optimizing of output and tending to your needs is critical for longterm productivity. (It often means slowing down.)

And that’s what we’re after.
Not a quick burst, but the production of something better over the long haul.
