58. Analyze What You Can Do to Improve

When they start getting off track, you guide them back. It is nice having extra time to do your own work without interruption. How long are things going to stay this way? Now that you have extra time, make time for regular review and analysis. Unless you review and analyze, you will not know what you can improve.
