Thought
"Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things." Peter F. Drucker
For example, if you only pick the things that you're pretty sure you'll be successful at, you'll look very efficient. If you take on the things that you want to do ... that are part of your mission ... that are "right" for you ... even if you don't succeed at the same rate, you may be more effective than efficient.
If you're 2 for 3, you're efficient. If you're 7 for 12 you can be more effective than efficient because you've accomplished many more of the things you consider the "right" things.
