If You Want Change, Try This....
As a professional speaker, I've learned for audiences sometimes it's easier to talk about change than it is to actually do it. Humor me and try this exercise: For the next week, reverse the direction that your toilet paper hangs. According to QPolls.com, 70% of respondents like it to be folded over the roll. 24% prefer under.
The survey (which can be found through this link: http://tinyurl.com/4qt4qw ) also found that 64% of the respondents are annoyed when a family member hangs the roll "the wrong way." While you would think this wouldn't matter, it's obviously a very important distinction for the majority. See if you can tolerate this change for a week. For some reason, little changes like this that don't impact the effectiveness of a product can have a major impact on our mood. With this in mind think about what habits you have that may be impacting your friends, family or customers.
