 The two minute rule

The Two-Minute Rule is a simple productivity technique from David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) method. It suggests that if a task can be completed in two minutes or less, you should do it immediately rather than putting it off. The idea is that it's often more efficient to complete small tasks right away than to defer them and have them accumulate. Prevents procrastination: Tackles small tasks before they pile up. Increases efficiency: Saves time by avoiding unnecessary task management. Reduces mental load: Clears up your to-do list quickly, leaving you more focused on larger tasks. This rule is often used in managing email, small work tasks, or quick decisions in your day-to-day activities. #engineerkhurram #twominuterule

Just In Time JIT Just-In-Time (JIT) is practically possible, and many companies have successfully implemented it, especially in industries like automotive, electronics, and manufacturing. However, the success of JIT depends on several factors, including effective supply chain management, efficient production processes, and strong supplier relationships. Toyota: Often credited with pioneering JIT, Toyota developed the system to minimize waste, reduce inventory costs, and improve efficiency. Dell: Known for its build-to-order approach, Dell has successfully utilized JIT to reduce inventory and deliver customized products quickly. In industries where supply chain reliability is uncertain or where demand fluctuates significantly, JIT can be risky. It may also be less practical for companies that deal with long lead times or have suppliers located far away. JIT is practically possible and highly effective in certain industries, but it requires a stable, well-coordinated supply chain, efficient production processes, and reliable demand forecasting. The key to success lies in managing risks and ensuring close collaboration with suppliers. #engineerkhurram #manufacturing #kaizen #justintime
