If there is a way to do it better, find it! ~ Thomas Alva Edison
We all know that feeling when we see some new product on the market and think, “Wow!? Why didn’t I think of THAT?” The invention is typically simple and improves the user experience. Someone thought of a better way to do it, make it, support it, serve it, present it, read it, fill in the blank. Someone then shared that idea and put it into motion.
The old philosophy that this is how we’ve always done it and this is how we are going to continue to do it serves NO ONE. Pay attention to that thought you had – it would be better if…or easier if…or faster if…they did it THIS way! What is stopping you from raising your hand and moving on those thoughts of change and improvement?! If you have held an idea captive because you thought it sounded silly or it would never work or no one would believe in it…now is your chance!
Start small and personal – determine a system, an area of your home, or an office procedure that is simply NOT working for you and create a better way to do it. The outcomes could range from reclaiming 10 minutes in the morning routine to producing a more efficient workplace. Do it today – raise your hand and use your voice!
Make it a strong day!
