Literally, the neck of a bottle which reduces the flow so you can pour liquid more easily. In broader terms, a bottleneck is a point of congestion that slows or halts the flow in a system, like an assembly line or computer network. When there’s an accident on the highway and the response team blocks off a lane, this creates a bottleneck that can cause a traffic jam.
What are the main streams and flows that matter to you right now? What are the bottlenecks that constrain or block your productivity?
