Is effiency and consistency the same thing?

Question

Is effiency and consistency the same thing?

Answer 1

No, efficiency is being able to work well and seamlessly and consistency is being able to be dependable.  

Answer 2

Not in my life. Example: Different uni courses will take a different approach in efficient learning, but the consistency of good grades remain.

Sometimes we give up efficiency to be consistent. If too rigid in trying to be efficient consistency of task completion times and results may differ greatly.  

Answer 3

No, because you can be consistent in a bad habit. Examples are going to work late, sloppiness, procrastination, talking too much, addictive habits.

Efficiency requires organization, planning and its objective is to be productive. Wise, knowledgeable people tend to aim for efficiency in a consistent manner.

If the ax is dull,

And one does not sharpen the edge,

  Then he must use more strength;

      But wisdom brings success.*  

Answer 4

When you're efficient you do things well and in a way that doesn't waste time and effort.

When you're consistent, you do things in the same way, generally speaking, each time. You show a steady, reliable character and way of doing things.

Efficiency means, producing the result effectively with minimum of waste, minimum of expenditure, and without much of an effort.

Consistency means logical coherence among things or parts. Compatibility among successive acts, ideas or events.

No, efficiency is more like how well can you do it - how well can something be done with out wasting time and then when you find out the most efficient way to do something, consistency would mean - do you use that process all the time
