Too many times I have been witness to, or guilty of, spending way too much time searching for that one last piece to go with a child's toy set. I've pretty much seen every parent I know do it. Their kid asks for a piece to a toy that's typically smaller than a quarter, and the parent spends 30 minutes trying to find it! I've actually seen parents combing the house -- without request from their kids -- trying to find that elusive last piece. The best part, if your kid did ask where that last blue ducky magnet was AND you actually rediscover it -- they only use it for one minute and move on. Let's stop wasting our time here! I'm declaring today, I will not spend more than one minute searching for a useless toy piece that only satisfies my childrens' toy hunger for 30 seconds or less. I have written about my efficiency gains when it comes to snapping a picture of my children, now it's on to improving issues that involve (time) waste management.
