Speed vs Velocity
- Velocity measures displacement. Speed is the distance traveled over time.
- A lot of people think in terms of one dimension (speed) and are passed by people who think in multiple dimensions (velocity).
- You need to distinguish between tasks that offer a lot of speed and those that offer velocity.

How to use this at work?
- Saying yes to everything is a quick road to mediocrity.
- You need to distinguish between tasks that offer a lot of speed and those that offer velocity.
- Busywork is doing work that keeps you occupied but doesn’t get you where you want to go.
- Instead of asking how many tasks you can tackle given your working hours. Ask how many you can ditch given what you must do to excel.
- Doing more isn’t always moving you ahead.

Three ways to increase velocity
- To the extent possible, ruthlessly shave away the unnecessary tasks, priorities, meetings, and BS.
- Don’t rely on your willpower to say no; instead, create systems that help you fend off distractions.
- Say “no” to your boss: Explain that saying no means that you’re going to be better at the tasks that are most important to your job, and tie those tasks to your boss’s performance.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
