I learned about it in a book and movie about efficiency experts called Cheaper by the Dozen. They had 12 children, so everything was timed down to the second. I found that fascinating, and played games against myself - trying to better my own time, find a quicker solution. It led to some odd ways of solving math problems, which hurt my later math instruction, but helped in innumerable ways. It even got me a job - the best job I had. It does sound like fun though, that silent competition with the clerk. Kristin Lundgrennoreply@blogger.com
