Who Doesn't Want More Time? 1: Efficiency

The overview of seven routes to this wish is here.

Efficiency is a good place to start. Efficiency is simply 'getting stuff done'. 

• keeping the laundry pile down
• responding promptly to e-mail
• booking the skiing trip

To be efficient needs systems. E.g. laundry day. E.g. batch processing e-mail. E.g. the family meeting.

If stuff isn't getting done, if it's being forgotten, being neglected or simply late, a system is missing or it is not up to the job.

So, power question 1 if I need more time is:  what systems do I need or need to improve?
