FORTINO STUDY

Michael Fortino, a renowned speaker, author and columnist has been quoted as an expert in time and detail management. He recently launched a unique study called the Fortino Efficiency Index, which is the first of it's kind, to study the effectiveness of business. Fortino's findings revealed that during the course of a lifetime, the average American spends: one year looking for misplaced objects - eight months opening junk mail - two years trying to return phone calls to people who never seem to be in and five years standing in line. Just being aware of the statistics is being halfway to changing them. One can switch banks, give up first run movies, and resist the envelope that proclaims a possible $10 million if opened, thus having saved years of time that can be spent on more meaningful pursuits.
