Most of us are rather busy. We don’t have infinite amounts of time for our life - and savng a few minutes here and there can pay out; in fact, it can pay out big-time. But lets start this off with a story:
At an office, there is a guy. Lets call him G. G needs 10 minutes to get to his office every day because the elevator is damn slow; powering on his machine takes 5 minutes, and waiting for his coffee takes 5. Because he doesnt have a handheld, he looses 40 minutes in the tram. Total time loss is an hour…a day.
Saving even just a few minutes can pay out when looked at from a year point of view:
| Time saved per day | Time saved in 300 work days |
|---|---|
| 1min | 5 hours |
| 5min | 25 hours=3 days |
| 10min | 50 hours=6 days |
| 20min | 100h |
| 60min | 300h |
So, look out where you loose time - and act on these metrics! Saving 10 minutes a day gives you an extra 6 work days per year, and saving just 5 minutes already gives 3 days! When looking at it this way, the “petty” 5 minutes lost every day add up…hard!
If you really want to kick a$$, you need to watch the time thiefs…
