The concept is to spend at least a few minutes every day working towards your goal. This idea is especially relevant when discussing the documentation of business operations because:
- It's not something that you're likely to see immediate results from.
- It's not a particularly fun process.
- It's easy to put off because there won't be any immediate impact.
- A lot of people literally don't know where to begin.
There are many approaches to business improvements that discuss the benefits of committing a certain amount of time every day to document and analyze your operations. I've found this approach to be much more beneficial then setting aside a certain block of time each week (or month!).
By using the tools offered with KMX to organize tasks I have our entire business innovation approach divided into several small objectives. My KMX dashboard allows me to view these objectives sorted by date according to the last time there was anything done with the objective to move it forward. I make it a priority to start off my day by reviewing these activities and 'doing something'. Some days this activity is just a few minutes to review some notes someone has left and some days it's a couple of hours fleshing out a system innovation.
I'm finding a lot of success in other areas of my life as well following this concept. By focusing on doing something every day - even if it just takes a couple of minutes - to move my 'someday maybe' projects forward I see a lot more things getting done.
