The Right Questions
When companies have more work than they can handle, they tend to ask, "Who will do this work?" But the better questions are:

- Is this the best way to do this?
- Is there a more efficient way to do this?
- Should I be doing this?
Identify what can be automated, delegated or be replaced in favor of something else. Even if it only saves you a few minutes, it will add up over time.

We are spending more of our time in environments that have their own agendas. Most of the entities in our lives really want us to make mistakes in their favor.
