How to Optimize Your Effectiveness and Efficiency in a Few Easy Steps

Optimize your effectiveness and efficiency is crucial for your result

In today’s fast-moving Internet environment, it’s more important than ever to know how to maximize your effectiveness and efficiency.

When surfing around on the Internet, there are tons of articles about efficiency, like this one that I love, or like this Japanese productivity method. However, it’s not so easy to find articles dealing with effectiveness and efficiency as an integrated process for best results.

To be able to optimize your effectiveness and, at the same time, also your efficiency, you must first make the difference between the two clear. In one of my previous articles, we went through the gap between effectiveness and efficiency.

In a nutshell:

Effectiveness: doing the right things

Efficiency: doing things right

Let’s say that Eliud Kipchoge, the fastest marathon runner in the world, comes to the Olympic Games, and lining up for the 100-meter flat race. Do you think he will qualify for the next race? Probably not. He may be the fastest marathon runner in the world, but has nothing to do in a 100-meter race on an elite level. He is not doing the right thing.

How often does it happen to you that you are working around the clock, but you don’t get the results you’re expecting? Take a look and figure out if you’re doing the right thing.

To optimize your effectiveness and efficiency, you need to understand the effectiveness before putting in much efficiency. As always, my favorite, James Clear, has an interesting approach to the topic of effectiveness and efficiency.

Effectiveness is the Same as Efficiency, but Different

After a hard day’s work with the feeling that not much has been achieved, it can be due to a lack of both effectiveness and efficiency or only one of the two.

If both effectiveness and efficiency are essential, what then comes first?

The classical anecdote about whether the chicken or the egg comes first deals with more or less the same dilemma.

Thus, effectiveness is very much connected to the goal of your mission. If you have your mission well defined, it shouldn’t cause you any problem to check whenever you want, if you’re on the right track or not.

As mentioned in the video, seven working blocks of 25 minutes each and 20 minutes of rest in between will give you a total working day of 5 hours. According to some sources, the productive working time is the same for the average worker at work 8 hours a day.

So, the question is simple: would you like to work for 5 or 8 hours per day?
