You’re too slow at solving problems

One thing is superior to accuracy and skill.

Speed to accuracy and skill.

Competition, like life, is more than skill alone. You compete on skill and speed.

The sooner you solve problems, the more advantage you gain. The slower you solve problems, the more advantage you lose.

The faster you learn, the more you thrive. The slower you learn, the more you suffer.

I can play every note of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, but I cannot play them at the speed they demand, at the speed that gives the composition its beauty.

I pay people to do my taxes because of their skill and because they do it faster than me.

Expertise might provide the correct answers, but excellence will produce better results faster and more reliably.

Ideal thinking is the fastest thinking that drives excellence in action. Speed to observation, recognition, understanding, clarity, discipline, and skill matters.

How long it takes you think, decide, and act is part of the competitive dynamic. You want disciplined decisions and actions to take only as long as necessary.

Accelerating disciplined action by stimulating disciplined thinking offers tremendous value. Maybe the ultimate value. That starts with eliminating thinking that does not improve decisions and actions.

Brick by brick. Do the work.
