Stop Wasting So Much Time Analyzing Your Efficiency

 

Oftentimes, we spend an inordinate amount of time of trying to make things more efficient. This is great, but XKCD reminds us that it's often a futile effort. 

It's an age old cost-benefit problem, but it's always nice to get a reminder to check your methods. If you're spending more time thinking about a problem or trying to make it more efficient than it takes to actually complete the project, then you're doing something wrong.
