proposing the efficient world
Everything in the world leans towards efficiency. In a world where being effective is already the baseline, the only true comparison between solutions is their efficiency.
But why do we have to advocate for efficiency? Because we have limited resources. The only reason terms like resource management exist is due to these limitations, and the only reason we care about efficiency is because of these limited resources, we live in world with full of limitation not in a Creative Sandbox.
If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to have significantly higher wages or achieve greater success than others, the simplest explanation lies in one thing: they are solving problems that are worth more.
It’s not about how many hours they work
it’s about how much value they can generate within those hours. In essence,
if your wages aren’t enough, it’s not necessarily because you aren’t putting in effort or because you lack talent.
The real issue could be that you’re not solving problems of high enough value.
In the business world, compensation is directly tied to the size and importance of the problems you solve. Solving small, repetitive problems will yield small rewards. But those who aspire to earn more must seek out bigger, more complex, and more impactful problems to solve.
If you feel your skillset isn’t appreciated or valued by your current wages, it could simply mean you’re operating in the wrong circulation of money, where your skills aren’t being rewarded to their full potential.
For example, the same programming skills might fetch modest wages in one sector and command a fortune in another. As someone once said, “It’s easy to take 99% of a small market, but it’s the top 1% of a large market where real success lies.” To achieve this top 1%, you need not only skill but also the mindset of efficiency. You must be able to consistently generate maximum results with minimum resources.
Imagine you’re the CEO of a company and you’re choosing between two employees.
Both can solve the same problem,
but one does it in 8 hours while the other does it in 2.
Naturally, you would hire the person who solves the problem more efficiently. Why? Because efficiency isn’t just about speed; it’s about maximizing impact within a fixed amount of time.
The wealthiest and most successful people have realized that time itself is not a constraint — it’s how efficiently they use that time that matters. They have mastered the art of compressing time, turning 2 hours into the same output that others generate in 8 hours, effectively multiplying their productivity. This ability to make time “expand” through efficiency is what separates the wealthy and successful from the average.
To reach the top 1%, it’s not just about working harder — it’s about thinking strategically, like a company. A company doesn’t just care about how long you work; it cares about the return on investment from your work. The most successful individuals are efficient not only with their time but also in selecting high-impact tasks, leveraging their skills to create solutions that far exceed the time spent.
Efficiency is what makes them indispensable. As the problems you solve grow in complexity and value, so does your worth.
This is why the wealthiest people are often the most efficient; they’ve learned to make their productive time equivalent to solving an infinite number of high-value problems. The richest and most successful people know that the key to truly winning is to stop playing by the rules of limited time and start playing by the rules of infinite efficiency. They continually refine their processes, cut out wasted time, and focus only on high-impact work.
Their ability to solve bigger problems faster and with less effort allows them to create value exponentially, unbound by the constraints that hold others back. In this way, they achieve in a fraction of the time what might take others an entire day, week, or even year.
Efficiency is their superpower, and it can be yours too.
When you think of yourself as a company, you realize that your ability to generate wealth isn’t tied to the number of hours you work — it’s tied to how efficiently you can solve valuable problems.
The more efficiently you solve problems,
the more problems you can tackle,
and the more valuable you become.
This creates a positive feedback loop where efficiency leads to higher wages, greater success, and ultimately, unlimited opportunities.
The top 1% aren’t just working harder — they’re working infinitely smarter. They have mastered the art of efficiency, and through that, they have mastered the art of time.
