Once there was a man called Taichi Ohno.
He was working as a supervisor in one of the world famous Japanese car manifacturing company.
In that comapny,there was a conveyor belt on which cars used to get manifactured 24*7, all the time long.
Many processes like car chassising, rear suspensioning, front suspensioning, electronic fittings, wheel hub fittings, painting used to take place one by one on that belt.
After some days, few of the workers complainted to Taichi Ohno saying some processes takes a lot of time for some car models, which in turn increasing the traffic at the end of the belt, putting extra pressure on the next sequential process and creating a lot of workload on the people too..... Solution????
Taichi Ohno decided to work on one idea. He drew a circle. Asked the workers, who'd complainted to him, to stand in the circle and just watch the overall manufacturing process, jot the comments if any. He repeated the process almost for a month.
Everyday those workers used to stand in the circle, watch the process, note down their comments.......
cars getting manifactured, deployed, painted, built....... everyday.
After a month, Taichi Ohno called them and asked for their comments and observations.......
All of them started shooting their thoughts. .. we should do this, we shoudn't do this, we should do this process first, we don't need this process here at all, this process is affecting the overall processing speed...... there were lots.
Taichi Ohno asked them to implement what they thought. They did and the results were amazing....
They observed, they noted down, they thought, they discussed and they implemented... They got fianally what they were looking for. :)
This process is nothing but called, introspection. Introspect yourself everyday.
If you can give proper justification for the things you did, go ahead.
But if you can't satisfy yourself with the answer, it's time to change the working and thinking style.
Stand out right in the circle. Keep your tags, statuses outside for somet time and watch. You will find the solutions to the problem you are facing, the mistakes you did, new improvements on your own.
