<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPeter Thiel<\/a> says technology is ‘doing more with less’. I think my personal definition of efficiency is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less waste, more production (doing, making, creating).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This also has to do with density of information. I have recently realized — the reason I enjoy reading books is that it is far faster and more efficient than listening to audiobooks, watching YouTube lectures, or even watching films and cinema<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Efficient artwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnother realization what I love about photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the most efficient form of arts-creation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOr in calligraphy<\/a>, being able to create visual images with the maximum amount of visual force, punch, with the least amount of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnother thing I realized while living in the suburbs<\/a> (for now):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soooo much time is wasted having to commute and moving in a car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Thus perhaps to have a more efficient lifestyle, the *LEAST* amount of time you spend in a car, the better. Ideally, no car<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEfficient workouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![\"Kettlebell](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/6DD4AE46-475A-4649-BF91-42D77FDAA604-scaled.jpeg?resize=1707%2C2560&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlso consider going to the gym<\/a>. I love the gym, but so much efficiency is lost going to the gym (and waiting at the gym). Often people are using your equipment, and so much time is wasted waiting to use equipment. For example, often when I am pumped up to do some deadlifts<\/a> at the gym, I have to wait nearly 30 minutes to even get a rack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever since having Seneca<\/a>, I am forced to become more efficient with my life. Getting a 105 pound kettlebell<\/a> was a great investment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can do 10x the working out in a 1\/10th of the time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Max rep kettlebell swings (two armed) or one armed. Also using a chin-up bar at home for max reps. Turkish getup. Goblet squats. Hip openers\/bicep curls. Kettlebell<\/a> as truly the most efficient form of working out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
