One of my favorite questions to ask myself when I finish some task and am not sure what's next is, "How can I make it better?" Then I decide what It is and get busy. Often, it's something as simple as putting a book back on the shelf or making my immediate environment slightly better. Thanks for mentioning that, Giles.

Yes, indeed, the Kaizen way! The Kaizen way describes exactly what you are referring to in this article. It's a Japanese method of improving, slowly, incrementally, one small step at at time. It's the philosophy that Toyota lives by and it has earned them one of the best reputations amongst quality in the car manufacturers. It works. I often ask myself throughout the week, "what small improvement can I make here?"... no matter how small. It's fun, keeps me engaged and before I know it, the process, system or whatever is the target of improvement has morphed into something beyond my wildest dreams. All because of small steps. It's almost magic :) This method can be applied to so many aspects of our lives. Gilles Gagnon Well said Barbara!
