It seems we still do this old time waster – hurry up and wait. Let’s try to reframe it into something more productive and creative.<\/strong><\/p>\n I am writing this blog while waiting. I had been working feverishly on something and completed the task. Now…well, you know…<\/p>\n Hurry up and wait<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Let’s see if we can reframe this into something else.

I am wandering about trying to find something to do. It seems that I’m wasting the time of other people as I chat with them about this and that. At least surfing the net doesn’t bother anyone else here. I guess it does consume some of the shared net bandwidth.<\/p>\n Let’s see if we can reframe this into something else. For me at least, this goofing off becomes<\/p>\n Hurry up and think<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ah, that is a bit more productive. I use this waiting time to think about things. Maybe I can even think about things related to work. Well, maybe not.<\/p>\n Let’s see if we can reframe this into something else. For me at least, this thinking time often becomes<\/p>\n Hurry up and create<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ah, I like that one. Create new products. Create new ideas. Create things that satisfy. Yes, I like that one.<\/p>\n Come to think of it, this time that exists after the hurry can become the 20% creative or innovative time. The rumor is that at Google, and other really successful companies, employees are given 20% of their working hours to be creative and invent new products. The mythology is that the Post It Pad was invented during one of these 20% times. Maybe it was; maybe it wasn’t. At least the idea sounds good.<\/p>\n Therefore, I don’t have to ask my boss for 20% creative time. I just use that time after the hurry to be wonderfully creative and invent things that benefit the company or at least benefit my own mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips It seems we still do this old time waster – hurry up and wait.
