Grouting your life with learning

by Jamie Flinchbaugh on 08-04-10

Another little gem from the internet is about learning. A lean thinker is all about learning. We recommend small steps, any step, every day. Sometimes you have to squeeze it in the cracks. That’s where grouting comes in. Grout fills in the cracks. How do you fill in the little spaces of time in your life? Do you fill it with useless stuff, or complete idleness, or seek new projects or learning.

I like this explanation of this article from Lifehacker, and instead of going on myself, I’m just going to route you to How to Find Time to Learn Something New or Tackle a Passion Project. Enjoy!

  • Thanks for the article, Jamie. It’s lunch time and I’m grouting my life with my favorite Lean blogs. 🙂

    This also reminds me of a comment I heard on my favorite talk radio show (Dennis Prager’s Happiness Hour)- “It is the little things that bring us the most happiness.” The grout that we fill our lives with should be the things we are passionate about and thereby give us happiness.
