Just like all humans, I don&#8217;t want to work any harder than I have to. The other day I ran across a phrase called \u2018smart laziness\u2019\u2026 smart laziness. Now guess what? That means that you use your smarts to figure out ways that you can do things more easily.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s one of the reasons I created QI Macros, because a lot of the things that I was trying to do back in the 90s were complicated and manual and slow. I started doing it faster, better using the tools of quality. Then probably about 2000 I started doing Agile Process Innovation (that&#8217;s what I call it). Now other companies have discovered the same sort of method, but they had to rediscover it; you can learn about it right here in my book, and that is not too complicated, all right?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So start being \u2018smart lazy\u2019. Start getting more results faster, better than ever imaginable. Let&#8217;s create hassle-free healthcare; a hassle-free America.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go out and improve something this week.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you smart lazy?
