| A businessman taking a seminar on efficiency completed a
case study of his wife`s routine for fixing breakfast and presented
the results to the class. "After a few days of observation, I quickly determined the practices that were robbing her of her precious time and energy," the man reported, "taking note of how many trips she made from the kitchen to the dining room carrying just one item, I suggested that in the future she carry several items at a time." "Did it work?", the teacher asked. "It sure did," replied the businessman, "instead of taking her 20 minutes to fix my breakfast, it now takes ME just seven." |
