It’s easy to say “increase tempo!” But man is it hard to actually do without superlinear increase in energy input. It’s easy to double your pace if you quadruple the energy. The trick is to do it for just 2x or less.

I’ve tried adderall, doesn’t work for me. Increases output at the expense of quality and creativity. In general psychoactives don’t help. They all mess with the trade offs. No substance I know of *just* increases tempo.

1) Good note-taking helps switch streams quickly. 2) Decline as many meetings as you can. 3) Prioritize external dependencies (e.g. IT setting up a computer) to avoid lock with others' tempo. 4) Not everything needs to be comple 5) Avoid becoming the busy man everyone relies on.

6) Get the first shot off quickly. This disconcerts them and gives you time to line up the next one. 7) Delegate anything that you can afford to. 8) Defer decisions until they are 100% necessary. You'll know more then, anyway. 9) Refuse offers to set your tempo for you.

You can use anxiety as a driving force to create the required energy. With humans anxiety has a nice strong feedback loop. Downside is that you’ll drive everyone else crazy but you’ll easily attain peak productivity.

Yep. Anxiety makes you very productive but with no slack. Then you burn out.

Stop creative/thinking projects mid-process (while it's messy and on the go rather than at cleanish junctures). Switch to an embodied task (I pair writing/design with domestic admin). Return to project - concepts have progressed in the background, and dishes are done.
