Level 2 Meeting

I was thinking as Mark was speaking about working in my yard & discovering “accidentally” or through circumstances more efficient ways to do the work. This might sound simple but this is my experience: 1. I was moving a lot of fronds (dead palm branches) & cut pieces of areca palms (which were heavy) from one corner area of my property to another. Someone suggested I leave it in that corner (further from my gate) & let whoever will haul it away just back up to that area. It hit me that instead of the wear & tear on my 53 y.o. body just consolidate it in that corner (saves both TIME & MY BODY). 2. Outside my fence I have bush-type palms. After trimming them I was trying to get them into the other corner for someone to haul away later. I was trying to finish up because I ran out of time (had to refocus on finishing Thanksgiving cooking)…I put the trimmings in four (4) piles. It is not only more pleasing my my/others eyes (aesthetic appearance or in MH’s restaurant story curb appeal) until I can finish the job but it is easier to move it from the ground to the corner (inside the fence) for later disposal-EFFICIENCY. It is only my yard work BUT I discovered a BETTER (more efficient) way of preparing the cuttings for later disposal. Were this a business instead of my home it would increase PRODUCTIVITY and save wear/tear on the LABOR (making them happier and more motivated workers because I was caring for their needs).
