I'm experiencing this now with some analysts that want to confirm, reconfirm, revisit and ensure that things are correct. They are obviously either dense or being lazy, but I can't do much to work faster than them when there are dependencies.

We need effectiveness to make sure we are always going in the right direction. It's like adjusting the sails of a ship as the wind changes. Nice metaphor Kell, sums up my these points nicely.

Efficiency is about climbing the ladder as quickly as you can. However, there are people who climb the ladder quickly only to get to the top and realize the ladder is leaning up against the wrong building.

My best work is usually done closer to the deadline. The impending date seems to get me really focused and interested in the project. But that can backfire on you if you wait too long, and something happens to interrupt your plans. Agree with you. My best work is usually done closer to the deadline.
