The Art of Manliness

NOTE

Optimize for Information Access, Not Just Information Input Speed

High-performing teams must shift their focus from optimizing for quick information delivery to enhancing information accessibility. Current strategies prioritize speed, often leading to disorganized communication, where team members send messages through various channels without a consistent method. This randomness hinders the ability to find information later. Investing a bit more time initially to categorize and store information properly yields significant time savings in the long run. This analogy applies to personal tasks, such as organizing laundry; taking a moment to sort items leads to quicker retrieval later. In a professional context, clear categorization—such as defining specific channels for internal and external communication—ensures everyone is aligned and efficient. By committing to this organized approach, teams can recover substantial time, potentially gaining back 10 to 20 hours weekly per employee.
