WASTE OF ENERGY
“Women have far more energy and waste far more of it than man.” So said a doctor of psychology the other day. “They rush at things in desire to get them done, and then find they have gone the longest way round in the end.” It is very true. It is a feminine failing to plunge at a job without a second’s thought. It’s a masculine failing to think so long over a job to be done that there is little time left to do it. Why not combine the two? Control your first violent impulse to be up and doing, and, instead, seize paper and pencil and work out a sensible programme. Go through an average day’s work and see how many times you’ have duplicated jobs. How many unnecessary trips to store cupboards or files, how many unnecessary phone calls you have made and letters you have written. No employer would be annoyed if you showed him neatly on paper how you could save your time and his—you might even get an increase of salary for your intelligence.
