Stop a Practice That No Longer Helps
Review a familiar routine that consumes time without a clear benefit, then make an explicit decision about its future.
When to use it
Use this when staff capacity is stretched or recurring work continues mainly because it is familiar.
Put It into Practice
- Choose one recurring task and identify its intended purpose, actual users, time cost and any policy or safeguarding requirement that must remain covered.
- Ask the relevant people what would be lost if it changed, then compare keeping, simplifying or stopping it without dismissing concerns from less visible roles.
- Make an authorized decision, communicate the change and check for unintended effects after a set period, restoring an essential function if the new arrangement misses it.
What It Can Look Like
A team replaces a duplicated attendance summary with one approved report after confirming that both audiences can access the information they need.

Take it with you: Stopping thoughtfully frees capacity while protecting essential responsibilities; it should never mean silently abandoning a required safety or reporting process.
