I wanted you to be the first to know about this discovery.
You too can have this groundbreaking event in your own life. All you need to do
is to learn from this simple tale:
I was having problems with my cooking. The meals that I used
to cook were delicious, well presented and enjoyable. Suddenly I noticed that
the presentation was sloppy, the taste was not up to scratch and there were
always leftovers. Something had gone wrong.
Resorting to the logical side of my brain power I analysed
the process. You could say I applied the business techniques of my computing
days to the kitchen. This is what I discovered when I took the process apart.
I saw that I was not
just cooking. My attention was also taken up with social networking and playing
games whilst I cooked. This is why some of the food tasted, well ... it tasted
wrong. It wasn’t what I was used to serving up. Some was undercooked, some was
overcooked, some was tasteless. It’s amazing how easily I forgot to put salt or
different seasonings in when I was distracted. When I was looking at the screen
I also didn’t remember how long one part of the cooking process had already
taken until I was reminded by the smell of burning or the rattling of pot lids.
Everything was taking longer that it normally did but not giving desirable
results.
I resolved to return to a time of dedicated focus to the
task in hand and ever since the resumption of proper attention the results have
become outstanding again. The food prepared looks good, tastes good and is
finger lickin’ good. There are no
leftovers but there is renewed anticipation for the next exciting meal – in a
good way!
Now, where is that Masterchef application?
