Internal Monkey Wrenches • People Always blame external factors that waste their time. Ex: Phone calls, visitor, meetings…etc • Mackenzie argues that there are internal factors that also cause these issues of time, and often people does not recognize them • it takes courage and willingness to change that and admit what is wrong with us and change these factors
Planning Time saves Time • planning is against the human nature. We human’s enjoy being free, and enjoy the fact that we do what ever we want at any given time, without restrictions or issues. • Investing time to save time is not the easiest concept to get across • A company that dedicates more time to plan usually gets the job done faster.
