One technique I’ve been having immense success with is creating tiny, 10-minute time boxes for the things I “don’t have time to”.

Try it and you’ll see that these time boxes are so easy to do that you won’t skip a single one of them. After just one month, you’ll see unforeseeable progress!

Luciano,

Thanks for creating this mind map of “One Small Step…” I read the book and have been using it to make small changes and I have to say this stuff really works!

One of the best things about it is there are many changes I would put off because I thought I didn’t have time. But if I make the steps small enough, I’ll always have the time to begin today.

And with your mind map I can review the book a lot more easily and you’ve saved me the time it would take to create my own.

Hi!
I’m glad to discover your blog

I spend 6 years to figure out how to create a methodology to program computer with minimalism as goal (less code = more speed + less bugs)

My conclusio is pretty clear: mind maps are perfect for that

Mind maps is the more natural metaphor because is how our brain do the job

Everytime I read more information a other points of view I discover new words for my work and Kaizen is a very, very good one because it describe with only one word the process to achive a project conclusion with my work (called Yanged)

Trying to build a computing system with Yanged is based on Kaizen because of extrem programming techniques are Kaizen, iteration is the key

Thanks for you work here. I’ll be reading you

I strongly agree. Improvements don’t have to be giant leaps, but the process of continuous improvements has to go on every day!

I use Kaizen for new software product developments. Here is a blog about it:

Ruth: Glad you enjoy the book review in mind map format. Mind mapping is a very versatile technique, and it works great even for large amounts of information such as more in-depth book summaries.
By the way, judging by the description in the website the book you mention seems pretty interesting! Would you mind sharing your mind map when it’s done? I would love to take a peek at it… Thanks!

This is a great article. I'd heard of using Kaizen in business before, but never thought to transport the process into personal development. Your process of using a mindmap for a book summary is really cool. I've used them to layout websites but that's about it. I'm reading a new book about Changing Your Course right now, and I'm definitely going to borrow your mindmap technique to summarize and work through the process the book teaches. Thanks!

Its funny how we always want to run before we walk or walk before we crawl. We get impatient. I like a song I heard once that said, ” I am climbing this mountain one step at a time” (from Psalty a Christian kids praise video I think)

Baby steps, or small steps forward are helping me in my personal journey with a trainer and losing weight. I get overwhelmed thinking about doing it all at once, but one small step at a time, has kept me strong.

In my writing, I’m trying to take tiny steps to help growth on my business blog (BizMarkTech.com), and it’s frustrating, but I know with each small change I make, it does a little better.

Really enjoyed this, and going to check out the book, thanks.
