KAIZEN - CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS
"The only person you should be better than
is the person you were yesterday."

"Today is tomorrow's yesterday." I have no idea who the original person was who came up with this thought, but I do know the first time I heard it was in grade school. That one phrase made a significant difference to me, because at the end of each school day, when the blackboards were clean, I erased the mistakes I made that day and vowed I'd never do it again.
Admitting a mistake means you are willing to change your behavior without somebody else telling you what needs to be corrected. If you don't recognize your own mistakes and make changes, bad habits begin to develop.
How to minimize mistakes and continuously make improvements. One simple technique is to keep a log of your daily activities. Record how many interruptions occur for one day. Then tally up the number of mistakes you made. Could it be too many interruptions may be the major source of foolish mistakes? If you could make one change to eliminate the number of distractions that occur on a daily basis, what change would that be? For me, it means shutting my phone off for thirty minutes at least three times a day when I need to stay focused. What I discovered is there is no way to prioritize my Cell phone to only ring for urgent calls and the probability of having numerous urgent calls in one day is very unlikely.
MAN & WOMAN CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO RUN ON URGENCY
24-HOURS A DAY
Therefore, it is okay for me to discipline myself to shut off the phone for just thirty minutes at least three times a day to work more efficiently and establish my own priorities without interruptions.
