How to Beat the Most Productive People at Their Game
I always laugh when I hear a guru or a manager brag about their production systems and how to achieve more efficiently.
I feel petty toward them and how they are stuck in the illusion of efficiency. Their mind is limited to thinking like an ant, a bee, or maybe a simplified version of an idiot robot.
However, how they create these systems isn't humanly possible for an extended period; humans are more creative creatures and shouldn't follow the rules of machines and robots.
We don't have the same capacity to process information or a simple mind to focus on a specific and small task for an extended period. The idea of doing more in an efficient time applies to machines or mass production factories.
I saw that with my naked eyes in a mega factory in a developing country; they turned people into soulless machines, formed in a long and straight production line, repeatedly adding a single part to a hair dryer.
They must follow that process because they must sell that hair dryer in a developed country for $10 less than a competitor brand. That's not how creative creatures should act, behave, or compete.
