The elements of efficiency are hidden in the things we don’t want to do

In our daily lives, there are things we want to do and things we don’t want to do.

When it comes to things we want to do, we don’t feel stressed no matter how much time we spend on them.

However, when it comes to things we don’t want to do, we may think:

• I want to finish it quickly without spending a lot of time
• I want to reduce the number of steps
• I want to skip

In fact, this point is where the element of efficiency is hidden.

As regards washing dishes, if we wash them from the least dirty to the most dirty, we could reduce the amount of work without spreading the dirt.
(Installing a dishwasher is one solution.)

It is also a hassle to go back and forth between the first and second floors in a detached house.

So we try to minimize the number of times we go back and forth by thinking about:

• What to do on the first floor before going up to the second floor
• What to do on the second floor before going down to the first floor

(We may also want to consider living in a single-story house or an apartment in the first place.)

This way of thinking leads to how we can accomplish things we don’t want to do with as little energy as possible, in other words, how efficiently we can do them.

If we apply this way of thinking to the things we do unconsciously on a daily basis, we can find there is room for improvement in efficiency.

It was my realization that the hints for efficiency were hidden in the things I didn’t want to do.
