Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals. Efficiency is performing a given task (whether important or not) in the most economical manner possible. Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.

The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?

He eliminated all of the activities he used as crutches and began to focus on demonstrating results instead of showing dedication. Dedication is often just meaningless work in disguise. Be ruthless and cut the fat.
work weekend important
Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."

World barista champions use the AeroPress to make coffee on the folding tray tables of airplanes.
driven activity
Work is an activity that is financially-driven or one that you'd like to do less of.

What I don't like is snark for snark's sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it.
