Sometimes you just need someone with outside perspective to point out how more efficiency you would be if you just took the hour or so to work out how to do things better. I have never been great with hiring friends so I tend not to. Far too many have a mindset of “how dare you to treat me like that I thought we were friends.” Well you’re fired for mistreating our friendship like a paycheck then.”
I find myself from time to time having to stop and create better organization or least spend the time in putting things back to where they should be in the first place.
I do a fair amount of looking into options of things trying determining what are possible outcomes. Life becomes such a trade-off in opportunity cost it would be crazy not to spend a couple of minutes and try to work it out. Do things happen as expect—heck no! If a fraction of them did it was a good day. Still worth the time however just too many variables sometimes to think and plan for everything.
My biggest issue has always been waiting around and allowing things the time it needs. I hate being ideal and I hate even more having to wait on the time of all things to be a factor. Only so much planning and effort one can put in themselves before they just have to wait for the outcome and make adjustments as needed down the road.
