I have to accept defeat that in a some cases of communication 'efficiency'. So doing and saying less works but for me it's more the practical sense usually not the feelings.
Doing less damage from practical work I can understand, measure twice and then cut etc....
But doing less communication also is not taking care usually.. eventually things comes around or happen again so better improve at least slowly and with focus / care instead of almost ignoring and passing awkward situations again or waiting for someone to make an error AND THEN TELL THEM ANGRILY!! <--- LOL U

SO for the human situations (i,e, understandings) almost everybody has to hold up the cost of communication (even the EXTRA SHIT) in order for humanity to slowly evolve which is a type of incrementing efficiency itself without you measuring that scope (you probably only measure or care about what you see <--- or many people do).

So you see it's not efficient to constantly do short SMS etc

An example / Analogy (and fun truth perhaps!)

10 emotional SMS vs. 1 hours personal chat to solve things or feel more progress / care attention than juggling sms in between other things

The scientific form of efficiency doesn't work with emotional plane or realm of human feeling.

Don't ask your girlfriend/wife if I'm right about your efficiency and logic - just send here an SMS instead lol

And then break up wondering why! :)

End of fun analogy - a lot of people going to learn this one way or the other - read again if not sure
