What Is Efficiency?

Efficiency is putting in less effort and getting a better impact or more output.

Improving efficiency is a simple, two-step process:

  1. Detect inefficiency.
  2. Learn how to find a more efficient method.

Most people with a PC use Microsoft Office. We usually learn how to use it by trial and error or on the job. Once the job is completed, nobody checks whether there is a better, more efficient way. That is why most activities are inefficient.
