Two-days training about process optimization
I spent two days of the last week receiving training in business processes optimisation. The theme of training appeared advantageous for me at first glance so I signed up for it. Whilst the subject of process transformations is fascinating, it has particular importance for the company I’ve been working for.
As far as the methods, instruments and technologies which we were going to learn, we were immersed in studying from the first minute to the very last one. The training was full of practical tasks so we had an opportunity to try all the main techniques and procedures in detail.
At first I thought the practice didn’t live up to my expectations but eventually I’ve changed my opinion and now I can say they were challenging days.
I’ve never heard of “Lean” methodology which helps to transform business to more optimal structure and processes to reduce losses and increase the value of really significant operations. It gave me an insight and modified my style of thinking. You couldn’t even imagine how much per cents of total spendings business can waste on indirect and unnecessary transactions and downtimes or even deadlocks, up to 90%!
But no matter how attractively or critically all that methods could seem for business there is another problem and it’s people. As I saw during the practice part of training - nothing changes inside the game. Involved and engaged ones stay the same while they play roles in role-play game but for those who like to be at the quiet even the game is not an enough motivation.0 votedSeptember 18, 20161My Internal Clock.
Some of us still think that we control our body clock choosing when to fall asleep and wake up. It turns out, we’re absolutely wrong as our inner clock is more than just our preferences, no matter if a person is an owl or a lark. Our body clock is in our genes.
Plenty of factors might impact our concentration, mood, weight, reaction time and many other things. If we ignore what our body is trying to tell us, we might run the risk of seriously damaging our health. We can’t think that having a regular sleep pattern or eating at the same time every day is boring and predictable as it prevents us from developing a lot of diseases. If we follow our schedule, we’ll always feel energetic and alert.
Unfortunately, I rarely listen to my body clock due to my University schedule. I have to wake up at 5:40 am not to be late for lectures and sometimes I go to bed at 1 AM because of my activities and homework. Obviously, I don’t really have a regular sleep pattern as I sleep no more than 5-6 hours. As a result, during the day, I sometimes feel very tired and dream of taking a 30-minute nap after getting home from University. Surprisingly, when I arrive home, my desire to take a nap immediately vanishes and I can’t deal with it, but I have a strong desire to dull the edge of my appetite instead. I guess eating at the same time every day is the only rule that I’m following as I can’t imagine how some people forget to have breakfast or dinner, it just breaks my mind.
Feeling full, I often do my homework as I imagine that nutrients that I’ve just absorbed, help me better think and concentrate on my studies.
While I attend activities, I forget that I was tired as I’m really enthusiastic about things that fascinate me, but after coming home at 8 PM, I realize that I’m fully exhausted and want to fall asleep just right in a hallway. However, I can’t allow myself to do this as I have to finish the rest of my homework and prepare meals for the next day.
At 12 AM I’m completely done and go to sleep. I know perfectly well my lifestyle is not great and I need to force myself to keep my eyes open most of the time, but I try to sleep 10 hours on the weekend and charge myself with energy for the next 5 days of hard work.0 votedSeptember 18, 20160
