The Laws of Performance 1. The Law of Knowledge: Understanding the dynamics and probabilities of your directed effort is always worth doing until you have at least some asymmetry to your advantage. 2. The Law of Asymmetric Probability: If there is asymmetry in the probability, the result will be in the direction of the asymmetry given enough repetitions. 3. The Law of the Hedge: If the probability of the effort to result is uncertain, but a constellation of efforts makes the sum of probabilities more favorable, then the constellation is preferable to simplicity—but not before. 4. The Law of Accuracy: The more accurately you aim, the more precise your effort will get you your result. 5. The Law of Minimal Effort, Maximal Effect: The less effort you have to expend for the result, the more effort you have left over to gain more or invest in alternatives. 6. The Law of Speed: The faster you do something, the sooner it happens, the faster you get your result, and the benefits of the result.
