Quality Target

Quality Target is a lens. Nothing in the world changes when you pick it up, but quite a lot becomes visible.

It is worth keeping in your pocket not because it is always right, but because it is always available. A tool you carry beats a perfect tool you left at home.

The idea is simple, and like most simple ideas it is easy to nod at and hard to use. The nod is free. The use costs attention, every day, in small change.

Time is the one currency the Reserve Bank does not print more of. Do not memorise it. Notice it. Noticing is the senior discipline.
