Finally - this is the printed version of the English translation of From Frustration to flow with lean@home. This book immediately hit the bestseller lists when it was first published in Sweden and today the author receives feedback every day from readers. But it all started with as pure survival instinct. Overcome by stress, Eva Jarlsdotter and her family began using the Japanese Lean method in their home. They saw instant positive results and began working with Lean tools and philosophy systematically, untangling their everyday life and improving family time in the process. Lean@home was born.Today the concept has reached many hundred thousand household. “My husband and I had experience with Lean from healthcare and business, and our three young children helped out with the change. After less than a year, we saw amazing, astronomical results. We cut our expenses in half; we went from no control to total control, and we have flow in our daily life. Now we can achieve our family’s dreams. Our environmental footprint is one third of what it used to be. The laundry goes ten times faster, and we no longer waste more than one hundred thousand dollars in decluttered living space. These are only a handful of the results we have had since we began,” says Eva Jarlsdotter. Streams, or processes, is a basic concept of Lean—everything from the dinner stream, recycling stream, homework stream to the morning stream. Every home is full of streams and many of them are messy and time-consuming. And the magic is that you pick the exact streams you need to change to get a more sustainable, harmonious every day life.
