I watch news (and everything else) on YouTube at 2x speed to keep the information density high enough to be worthwhile. Once you get used to it, regular media becomes less tolerable because everyone is talking too slow.
- anal_reactor 10mo agoI often watch YouTube at 1.5x speed and then during work meetings my brain starts looking for the speed button.
- mjevans 10mo agoThose are the wrong sort of work meetings. Where possible you want everyone to be well informed on the way in, at least about the current situation and the obvious proposals. This gives people time to digest the information and maybe even suggest their own proposals. Then there's two types of meetings. * Leadership communication meetings (quick review to make sure everyone understands how important the data they already knew about is / cement context). * Brainstorming meetings (figure out a plan / pathfinding)
- anal_reactor 10mo agoI feel like the goal of most meetings is to ensure everyone feels heard and included, and if by the way we push the work forward, that's a bonus.
- einpoklum 10mo agoThe 2x speed will only keep your brain preoccupied enough not to notice the relevant information is missing or made very shallow... getting the same slop in half the time won't solve the problem.
- kevin_thibedeau 10mo agoYou just cut out the low information ramblers.
