Speedrunning review - session #2 2020-09-01

My speedrunning work (including my thinking about speedrunning, and thinking about connecting my speedrunning work to my whole life) has led to some interesting connections. In the last few days I wrote a few personal notes about this stuff. I didn't publish them yet because they wouldn't make sense to other people. So I decided to dedicate this post to publishing that stuff, with or without edits to make them more understandable to other people.

You’re implying that you know what my goals are but I don’t think you know what my goals are. 

New comments:
  • I often find myself in situations where someone is giving me suggestions/criticisms but they don't understand my goals so their feedback is junk.
  • I also find myself in situations where someone asks me for help but I don't know enough about their goals to give them useful feedback.

Goldratt's ideas applied to my time/activity priorities

  • elliot's comments that contributed to my speedrunning review (latest one)

how do i apply this to the whole thing?


this = elliot's advise about look at whole speedrunning route before optimizing a section of the route. (FI email)


the whole thing = all my time activities (vs all my gaming speedrunning activities)

  • or categorize by time spent doing intellectual activities devoted to certain subgoals

doing this work would help me optimize my priorities so that i produce the best results as defined by my goals.

You’re pushing goals on her that are not her goals.


New comments:
  • This is one way to pressure someone.

Do outline before doing a paragraph. 


Do whole to X% before optimizing a part to better than X%.


New comments:

  • This is an attempt to connect Elliot's idea about my speedrunning work to other parts of my life.

Batch size and Newton’s method 


Optimize batch size 


Depends on situation. No two are the same in all ways. 


Internal actions to external actions
