Think about your day so far, or yesterday if it’s early. How many ‘systems’ did you engage in, following a pattern that you follow because that is how it has been done before you for years? How often do you take for granted that things should be done ‘that’ way?

Sometimes patterns and systems were developed for good reason. However, if you follow with not thought to doing it any differently, you could be missing out on great opportunities or increased efficiency.

It is probably worth at least asking, occasionally, what are you doing because that’s how it’s done? And is there a better way?
