5 Keys To A Kaizen Mindset

“Productivity is not about how to get more things done; it's about how to get the right things done. It doesn't mean just doing less for the sake of less. (It's] about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at [your] highest point of contribution.” - Anthony Raymond 

 

Key 1 - Have making improvements towards your life and projects the foundation of your everyday tasks. 

 

Key 2 - Act on the small ideas for lasting change. Let nothing be too small and adjust accordingly. (Think of a plane’s flight from L.A. to Atlanta)

 

Key 3 - Know that when you do act, you are making a difference. 

 

Key 4 - Streamline what you are doing. Use a Hansei time to reflect and see how you can make your time more efficient. 

 

Key 5 - Focus on your focus. This means to pay attention to your project and stop being so distracted. Sometimes you may have to say no to things that do not fit in with what you are trying to do.
