I think scheduling is a kind of stress response.

When you know what you want and why you want it, it transforms your being in a way that's more effective than scheduling. Without that the schedules -- 5-530 ashtanga! 530-6 look at fashion influencers -- tend to fall apart.

so I agree with L that the feelings work is crucial

Efficient information exchange is a critical optimization problem. Human conversation often operates at ~10% signal-to-noise ratio, with key insights buried under social protocol and tangential details. This creates significant cognitive overhead and time waste.

Traditional 1:1 synchronous communication (meetings, calls) compounds this inefficiency by:

Forcing real-time processing of low-value information

Adding context-switching costs

Preventing parallel processing of multiple conversations

Solution space: Moving to asynchronous, high-compression communication channels allows for:

Faster iteration cycles

Better signal extraction

Optimal time allocation

The goal: Maximize bits of useful information transferred per unit time while minimizing cognitive overhead.
