What Toyota can Teach You about Personal Productivity - lifehack.org

Toyota pioneered “lean manufacturing” based in large part on creating value in the eyes of the customer and having products being “pull” or demand-based that would be responsive to the customer rather than “push” or supply-based from the production end.

Lean manufacturing also includes identifying and minimizing waste (including inventory), empowering employees and aiming for perfection in the processes.

The ‘Toyota Way’ can also be applied toward improving personal productivity.

Strategize: Doing the real math on success

“Mathematics from a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this: 
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? 

Follow the above link to find a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions!

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them,

glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones,

we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

La música es una de mis pasiones y disfruto mucho escuchando todo tipo de música. Tengo un oído abierto a todo tipo de expresión musical pero fundamentalmente me gusta el rock, el jazz, la electrónica y la clásica junto con el folklore.

Cuando comencé a escuchar música por las mías, comencé con Yes, Génesis, Phill Collins(primera época, Face Value…), luego pase el Jazz Rock, Pat Metheny, Spiro Gyra, etc y luego caí en el rock.

Entre con Queen, Rolling Stones y fui subiendo de volumen y potencia hasta AC/DC, Maiden, Metallica, en fin de todo. Luego llego el tango, mas recientemente, mezclado con música electrónica.

Me gustan mucho las bandas locales, hay muy buenas, hay mucha música en Argentina.

Que estoy escuchando ahora?, mucho local, Divididos, Catupecu Machu, Árbol, Bajo Fondo Tango Club, Tanghetto, Luciano Supervielle, Babasonicos, pero tambien Audioslave, Rage against the machine, Maroon 5, bastante variado pero con cierta tendencia! ;-).

Me gusta la música con mucho sentimiento y potencia y si tiene técnica y mejor.

Me gustaría, tambien, saber que gusto musical tiene Diego
