One of the Personal Kanban tips that Jim Benson gave us in the Business901 Podcast:
We basically create different projects, and those projects, aren't atomized until the last possible minute. So we keep things in an aggregated form as long as we possibly can, which is a fancy way of saying that we procrastinate. But this is a good type of procrastination.
The other day I wrote and basically said; "You can put things off until the last responsible minute", which means that you're waiting until you have to get it done, which seems like procrastination, but what it actually is, is you're not doing something too soon.
So, lots of times we will start a task before we need to, and then as we're doing the task, more information or more knowledge will come to us and we will figure out "Oh! I should have done it a different way!" Then we end up having waste in the work that we've just done, because we started the work too soon.
On the other hand, there's the other type of procrastination which is the "I'm going to ignore it, until it becomes a problem." That's not good. Nobody wants to do that.
If you did not open the e-book, maybe this will entice you enough:
Any productive group that is inside an object that isn't part of that object is basically a cancer. So I've seen extremely productive, thoughtful, wonderful groups that act contrary to the needs of their organization, because of their disenfranchisement from that organization.- Jim Benson
