Apply Those Principles At Home
Techniques and methods which are efficient can be used well at home as well as in business.
Principles of efficiency and best practices do not have to be concepts that are only discussed at work or more specifically in an office with a bunch of eggheads. These types of concepts work just as well in real world situations,
not just on the factory floor or in production situations. Not just do they work well in those situations, but they can be applied to a job site, construction crews can use them as well as at home.
Think of all of the situations around the house that you are always telling yourself or somebody else that there has got to be a better way, or that this is a waste of time and there is no reason to have to do things twice? Anybody with kids or a husband or a wife knows that there are things around the house, things that come up every day or every week that can be more efficiently done.
How much time do you spend looking for all of the laundry around the house to wash? Are the bills always in one place so that they can be taken care in a timely and efficient manner? Is the garage neat enough and organized enough that you could send a complete stranger in there to find a tool? The answer to these questions is most likely in order, too much time, no, and are you crazy, did you see how messy the garage is?
The point is that everybody has places in their lives that they could be more efficient, and in doing so could save themselves a little bit of time each day and a whole lot of aggravation. The trick, if you want to call it that is to actually identify these things that can be fixed, that can be improved and you will make your life a little more organized. That is the trick, but the real work comes when you decide to actually change these things that you have identified.
It is not thing to do at work, and simply because it is at home, does not make it any easier. The truth is, after a long day at work and a long week, the last thing that anybody wants to think about is implementing more changes that will mean more immediate work at home. But once the immediate work is done, it is just a matter of maintaining and each day it gets just a little bit easier.
