Did you hear about the efficiency expert who did a seminar on time management
for a company's junior executives? He ended one of his lectures with a
disclaimer. "Don't attempt these task-organizing tips at home," he said.
"Why not?" Someone asked.
"I did a study of my wife's routine of fixing breakfast," he said sheepishly.
"She made a lot of trips between the refrigerator and the stove, the table and
the cabinets — often carrying only one item. So I asked my wife, ‘Honey, why
don't you try carrying several things at once so you can be more efficient.' "
"Did that save time?" The questioner continued.
"Actually, yes," the lecturer replied. "It used to take her twenty minutes to
get my breakfast. Now I get my own in seven."
