I’ve lived in my current home for around 5 years, and in all that time the ceiling light in the bedroom hasn’t had a light shade.
The harsh bare light always kind of bothered me, not enough to prompt me to do anything about it, but enough that it impacted the quality of my daily life in a very small way. It flew under the radar.
It was only recently, when I, in a moment of embarrassing clarity, realised I could solve this problem, easily, cheaply, and improve my life, albeit fractionally.
Our organisations are full of ‘light shade problems’, the only difference being when we fix those problems the positive effects are spread over many more people.
So a small challenge to you. See how many you can list and solve. Your colleagues will thank you.
