Manage episode 371769319 series 2936988
An essential principle of lean thinking is “one-piece flow.” One way of looking at that is to focus on finishing what you start before you take on other tasks, whether building a car in a factory or managing paperwork. But our lives constantly call us to multitask and take on more than we can complete, and as a result, we get overwhelmed. Lean coach Stéfany Oliver has been studying how to overcome the feeling of overwhelm in our lives, and she has written a book to help us all!
