Doing stuff in parallel

Published on

This is a living note on doing as much stuff in parallel as possible to get more than 24 hours per day. It is a big scheduling and organizational challenge. I could support this with tooling some day. Routines help for sure as well.

This note is a very very early draft. I am sure, that I can improve even more.

Shared resources

It seems that I have a bunch of shared resources, like muscle energy, whole body energy, mental energy. Some tasks need only a subset of resources, like learning need only the brain. I can do something, that does not need the brain (like cardio) in parallel. It would be a good strategy to identify them, identify the dependencies and use this to do some planning and optimization.

Work on tools

If I work on tools that make me faster I work one derivation down. This is pure improvement. But don’t spend all time there. I need to get actual stuff done and tools get only good if they are used. So use only some time per week (20%?) for tool-building.
