Efficiency is a product of experience.

When I first joined my current company, it took me 15 minutes to scooter between work and home. After one year, I was down to 6 - 8 minutes, by riding faster, and knowing the traffic lights. And now, the biggest break-through comes in the form of a new path.

The shortest path between home and work used to be by-foot only because of a gate. But that gate has been recently renovated, and now scooters can pass through -- dropping the travel time between the two places I spend most of my day to 2 minutes!!

In the map attached, the orange path shows the route I used to take, and the green shows the new, more direct path.
