1. I never got a good explanation why, doing things in a faster way, for many people means productivity. But now, I found it. “Why reading faster doesn’t increase productivity”.

The post’s argument was based on the idea that every project involves a lot of reading – background materials, books, blog posts, notes. It didn’t mention emails but that’s another area where reading faster might seem more productive. [...] But productivity isn’t about speed, even if we’ve been led to believe it is. It’s about being effective. It’s about accomplishing things — and that’s about doing the most important things, not the most things.
