Hyper-efficiency could be construed as being, what used to be referred to as, anal retentive. It seems to me that for this to have been an efficient thread, it should have been locked down after his opening post. Wouldn't have to waste valuable time replying to drivel. imo

But the thing is if I'm with someone I don't worry about things like the absolute shortest distance between two points. It's just something to do with my time. now get on the right, loser.

LOL @ thinking you could amass that many posts without being efficient. :lol:

This post, and my subsequent use of it, led me to read and get tempted into posting in the D-K dome and reduced my enjoyment of life.  eff you michigancat.  At least I'm more efficient now. :rolleyes:

When I'm really feeling efficient, I flush the toilet about 10 seconds before I'm done peeing, knowing it takes about that long to flush.

I think that for truly efficient people (life myself, obviously) that chart is somehow imbedded in our dna.  like I inherently know how much time I should spend trying to be more efficient in any one task and my subconscious keeps track of how much time I've already spent.  I'm not saying I never eff up. I always know when I've spent too much time on trying to improve my efficiency and that I'm just essentially being really inefficient at that point and then it really pisses me off.

if being purposely inefficient is the best course of action and you are, in fact, being inefficient then you are actually be pretty efficient.  boom I just blew your mind you're welcome.

I majored in efficiency (no joke). I can come take a look at some of your processes and offer some suggestions for improvements if you want?

Just realized raquetcat and I probably had the same major and might know each other.

I just love that the audience appears to think everything this young gentleman is doing is the greatest thing they have ever seen.  Almost to the point of fainting great.

This is where they yell at you for not understanding that it's a PODCAST that you can PAUSE and listen to at DIFFERENT TIMES.  It's a recurring theme.

The ipad is great in that you can play these things at 1.5x - 2x speed with almost no decrease in pitch or quality of audio.  Still pretty awful.  Y-W.

I've discovered that the chai tea in my office's coffee machine gives me superior focus and allows me to operate at an increased efficiency.

Someone in your office is hiding adderal in with your office's chai tea storage area.

I have a great new efficiency tip:

When folding laundry, I do it right next to my dresser where most of my clothes go. I open the top drawer half way, and the second drawer all the way. Then I fold my laundry and immediately place it in its appropriate location. Saves time but more importantly, I feel smart doing it and don't have piles of clothes all over the place.

Stop parking in the garage.  Relax on the hail damage, little collateral for efficiency.  Along that thought, stop hiding your trash cans (everyone has one, and they poop, and they use tp).

Go straight home after work.  You will really cut down on bags if you make all them errands a whole another trip you probably didn't actually need.  Stop having your liquor put into paper bags.  Carry them out proudly, and put it in the same bag you use for mail.

Adderall makes you about the exact opposite of efficient.

My last girlfriend had like some sort of OCD I think, she had very "thinky" type job and was always really busy... even after we broke up I think some of it rubbed off on me and it's really annoying. I think over-thinking things is like the opposite of efficiency.
