# [[My Obsession With Efficiency]]
#Psychology #Self_Awareness #My_Quirks #Introspection
I am obsessed with efficiency.
So obsessed, that it has the potential to make me very inefficient in certain contexts.
For instance, ff I want to search for "Forza Horizon 5" .. this is what happens:
- I search for Forza. Aiming to achieve my goal with the least clicks possible.
I then get a bunch of unrelated results.
- I THEN adjust my search to "Forza Horizon" .. yeah, you read that right. Why spend effort on typing "5", if I can achieve the "same outcome" without it?
Needless to say, there are now many Forza Horizons to sift through.
Which makes me realize, **I should have just searched for "Forza Horizon 5" from the beginning** ..
And this is only one silly example.
Combine that with perfectionism .. and you have yourself a mental bioweapon lol
I am trying to learn that "less work" is not always more efficient
