LAW OF MEDIUM SPEED SAYS …

1. Slow down

2. Breathe

3. Focus on one task at a time

4. Complete said task

5. Move on to next task

SOUNDS SIMPLE; BUT THIS TAKES PRACTICE AND DISCIPLINE!

LOGIC

LOOSE ENDS ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST TIME WASTERS

1. Less mistakes means less rework

2. Reduce and/or eliminate duplication of Effort

3. Have the clarity of mind to actually see, evolve, simplify or even eliminate certain tasks and processes

4. Stop repeated visits to tasks that still have loose ends

ACTION REQUIRED

Next time you are in a crap storm of doing to many things at once (operating at break neck speeds) take a deep breath and say to yourself, “Medium Speed Sunshine.”

“MEDIUM SPEED SUNSHINE …”

HELPFUL TIPS

1. Think of a Japanese tea ceremony where every movement is sacred. Sounds corny; but it works!

2. As the breath goes … so does the mind. DO NOT underestimate the power of your breath. Slow and measured is what you’re after (at least initially). Try 4 counts in and 4 counts out.

3. If you are so overwhelmed … to the point of curling up in a fetal position and sucking your thumb? It’s time to ruthlessly cut; or renegotiate certain tasks and process.

4. Can’t see the forest for the tree’s? (happens to all of us) Get together with a trusted friend; or co-worker. Let them help you trim your tasks and processes. (Word to the wise: don’t kill the messenger)
