Effectiveness should never be confused with working with great effort or working fast or working long.
The most effective magicians don’t appear to be trying hard to fool us. Their actions can almost seem minimal.
The most effective athletes don’t appear to be playing hard. Their play can almost seem effortless.
The most effective teachers don’t appear to be rushed. Their efforts can almost seem leisurely.
When we come across as hurried, or rushed, or behind, or overloaded, we aren’t doing our best work. And, we aren’t positioning ourselves as experts to be trusted.
People recognize that ‘making it look easy,’ is something only the most effective people do.
