[[Life is knowledge work]] and [[The output of knowledge work is decisions]], which require both analysis and design. [[Analysis makes you do the right thing, while design makes you do the thing right]]. Both processes involve iterative learning, as you rarely have all the information, knowledge, or understanding from the start. Our conscious mind processes information much more slowly than the unconscious—by about six orders of magnitude. What the unconscious processes in a second would take the conscious mind ten days or so. ^86938c While learning, the conscious mind guides the unconscious, and much of this learning solidifies during sleep. Given our limited conscious capacity and the need for rest, repetition and time are critical. [[Eigenzeit is the time inherent to a process itself]]. ^854177 Learning is the bottleneck. You should [[Learn extensively and continuously]] and [[Design your process as much as your product]] to ensure you allow enough time to overcome your limited bandwidth.
