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.

Basic physics is more than a metaphor here. Kinetic energy is 0.5mv^2. I suspect that’s a baseline for everything. For non-physics-limited things, you can beat quadratic growth in energy needs with velocity, but you need to either exploit other humans, or the built environment.

Wonder what the literal speed limit of neurons firing is set by. Probably it’s fixed by refractory period of neurons rather than glucose or something.

I’ve been trying to increase my tempo of work, and I’m discovering it is: 10% refactoring schedules, 20% refactoring content (unbundling/febundling), 30% better habits (sleep, diet, exercise), 40% working on stamina (working at say 10% higher intensity for 10% longer every week)

This is too much discipline for me so I’m currently looking for cheats.

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.

i deeply suspect it’s a genetic thing; my mom tried keto last year and reported such a brain/energy boost she *learned Wordpress by herself*. i was totally not expecting that
