being just a little off
Hello all
I originally heard this concept from Tony Robins ..
this is not massive action ..on some things you may need massive action..
but there are many things in life ..that are just a little off and it causes huge differences in the end result ..
though it sometimes ..or most often takes massive action .. to get something going an build momentum..it is then doing a set of actions every day ..over a long term period that builds lasting success ..
I'm working right now and trying to get the funds together to move and start the business i want to be in ..and this concept has just been blasting me in the face .
im working at a company that produces potting soil mix that exentually goes to big retailers ,, part of the chain has a person packing 48 5 pound bags into a box ..and then rolling it a few feet on a conveyor..where i come in ,,
now if the box and the pallet it is on ,, is moved just an inch in the wrong direction ..it comes off the rollers ..and i have to bend down and lift it to shift the box back so i can move it ..( mind you 2 years ago my back hurt so bad i couldn't get out of bed some days )
now the set up is so that we do about 200 of these a shift 5 days a week and there are 4 weeks left to finish this order at that rate .
now a few days this week one of the guys packing didn'y give a f.. and almost every box he did needed to be shifted ..and a some point he started intentional putting them on wrong so i had to shift them .. this practice..turns out to be a great way to get fired ..
anyway .. now that he is gone and the people packing do their job right or attempt..only a small number need to be shifted .. and the rollers can be adjusted to reduce that even further ..
over the next month .. the effect of not having to do that little extra action.. will save a huge amount of stress on my back ..and allow me to keep up better with the other things my job needs ..
I like working hard ..but i despise ..working harder than is really needed ..or when others make tasks harder than they need to be ..
in any case ..there are almost alway extra stepd or wasted effort that creep in to almost any set of tasks ..and most people do not even realize it..and do not think that there could be a better way to get it done ..
a task done every day that take 5 minute extra ..works out to 1000 minutes in 200 working days ,,
