I was seated next to a scholarly looking man. I asked him what field he was in. He replied "I am an efficiency expert." Well, I need all the help I can get so I asked him how it worked for him.
He said "ok at work but you can't use it at home". I asked him to explain.
" It's like this" he started. "One morning I was watching my wife cooking breakfast. She got the pan out and put it on the cookstove. She went down to the storage room and got some shortening, took it back to the pantry. she went to the fridge to get some bacon and had to go back to the pantry for her apron. She made several wasted trips before it was done so I said " If you would just use your head and consolidate your trips it would be better."
So I asked why that wasn't good and he replied "Let me explain it this way... What used to take her 20 minutes, I can do now in 10".
