It was getting obvious that my wardrobe needed to be revamped. I was wearing two of the same shirts every week, and I was getting tired of it. The solution was to buy clothing at TJ Maxx because of the low prices and good quality. The only problem is that we arrived at TJ Maxx at 8:30 pm, and the store closes at 9:30 pm.
It took me 30 minutes to find everything I wanted which means I had 30 minutes to try on 24 articles of clothing. I was going at a relatively slow pace until I heard that there were only 15 minutes left until closing time. That was when I kicked it in. I went through three articles of clothing a minute, and it was a close one. In the end, I was able to go on line with five minutes to spare.
The urgency of thinking I would leave with no clothing after spending an hour of the store resulted in me speeding up. Because of this urgency and increased speed, I know have a giant wardrobe and definitely won’t be wearing the same shirt every week.
When we get pushed, we become more productive. Getting pushed forces us out of the shell of stagnancy.
Urgency is the mother of innovation. I find that running a successful business is itself very demanding and requires the best use of our time.
I’m always making lists of what I need to do each day and decide if they’re A, B or C priority both for my business and personal life.
For you Marc updating your wardrobe was an A priority and you got it done in the time you had!! Good stuff, and well done!!
