Death by 1000 paper cuts

Way 8:  Kaizen!

Kaizen is Japanese for the philosophy or practices that focus upon continuous improvement of processes. *  Born out of their industrial rebirth in the 60s and 70s at its heart is the idea that you look for opportunity in everything you do.

In 100 ways terms, pay attention to how you live and look for ways to lead a more active lifestyle, a little bit at a time.  How you shop (try using a hand basket), commute (Google maps provides bike routes!) or spend your day (have a no elevator day every week).  Even giving blood is good for 650 calories :)

You might notice big jumps in the number below.  I finally mapped a reasonable bike commute to work using Kaizen.   Go find your ways!
