Recently, I purchased a bed from Wayfair that had to be assembled from four large boxes that it was delivered in. I waited until the weekend to assemble it and learned a few things:<\/p>\n
After spending hours and hours assembling and completing the bed, I took a look at the assembly time to see if I was in line with how long it should take to assemble. Over the years I have, or at least I thought I have, become proficient with assembling toys, bikes, trampolines, furniture, and just about everything else. However, the instructions said that it should take 20 \u2013 25 minutes for two people to assemble the bed. It took about that long just to take the pieces out of the box. This made me realize either: I assemble way too slowly (hope this isn\u2019t true, but it is humbling), the time on the instructions apply to professionals who assemble beds on a daily basis, and most importantly, you can\u2019t believe everything that you read.<\/p>\n
To apply this in business (hopefully you are not putting together a bed when you should be working), are you spending the proper amount of time on the right activities and minimizing or eliminating tasks that you should not be doing? Are you seeking the help of professionals when necessary? Are you seeking the correct information to determine what you need to do to succeed?<\/p>\n
