An expert on efficiency
concluded his lecture with a note of caution.
“You need to be careful about trying
these techniques at home.”
“Why?” asked somebody from
the audience.
“I watched my wife’s
routine at breakfast for years,” the expert explained.
“She made lots of trips
between the refrigerator, stove, table and cabinets,
often carrying a single
item at a time.
One day I told her, ’Honey,
why don’t you try carrying several things at once?’”
“Did it save time?” the guy
in the audience asked.
“Actually, yes,” replied
the expert. “It used to take her 30 minutes to make
breakfast. Now it takes me 10.”
