Just started a French book that the person sitting next to me on a plane was reading recently and recommended. The book is about becoming more efficient at work so that one can feel more on top of things and improve the time spent on life vs work. A noble cause !
Apparently people who use Chrome or Firefox as their internet browser are more productive than people who use Internet Explorer or Safari…
This is not because of the browser but because these people look for alternatives to the obvious/default that is presented to them in life… Oops !
The book says that becoming more efficient is a journey full of little steps that don’t gain you much but add up in the long run a bit like compound interest.
This Kaizen quest is all about regularly investing a little in the short term to gain long term benefits. We need to constantly challenge ourselves and the way we work to find better ways of doing lower value, tedious and repetitive tasks.
The concept is certainly worth thinking about and sounds promising.
I’ll let you know in future blogs if this book “La 25e heure” by Declair, Dinh and Dumont is worth a read.
