Nugget: “The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs … one step at a time.”~ Joe Girard
Reflection drill: Create a unique place for everything.
Simplify, simplify. If you’re going to need it later, then put it away where it — and everything like it — will be easy to find when you need it. (It’s called a file, a folder, a database, a cubby, a labeled shoe box, a drawer, a room, or a mini-storage locker.)
Why it matters: Take the lazy man’s approach. Create a specific and unique place for everything, and you’ll never have to work very hard to find it.
Thinking drill:
If you’re going to need it later, why not make it quick and easy to find?
Wouldn’t life be sweet if every time you wanted to find something it was exactly where it belonged?
What costs more, your time or a manila folder?
What’s your take away?
