As you know, I travel a lot, and every hotel room is different. And I have a thing for lamps. Apparently, every lamp is different too!

So, I\u2019m in this hotel room, and there\u2019s no button to be found on the lamp. I\u2019m looking everywhere. It takes me about 20 minutes to try to figure it out.<\/p>\n

I look at the base. Nothing.<\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m following the cable. There\u2019s a little cable coming out of the lamp, so I follow it all the way to the connection. Nope. That\u2019s not it either.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I move the big chair sitting in front of the lamp. And that\u2019s when I realize there\u2019s another cord on the floor with a little button on it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

All I have to do is step on the button to turn on the lamp.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, it takes a while before you figure something out, but eventually, you do. You always figure it out.<\/p>\n

This is my third night at this hotel. On the first night, it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to turn on the lamp.<\/p>\n

On the second night, I looked at it and thought, \u201cOh no, what was it again?\u201d<\/p>\n

It took me a few minutes, and then I remembered: \u201cOh yeah! There\u2019s a cord on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stepped on the button. Light on.<\/p>\n

By the third night? No problem. I walked into the room, stepped on the button, and the lamp was on.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same with technology\u2014and with so many of the new things we face in our lives and businesses.<\/p>\n

At first, something can feel complicated simply because we don\u2019t know where the button is. We click around. We look everywhere. We get frustrated. We wonder why someone had to make it so difficult.<\/p>\n

But then we figure it out.<\/p>\n

The next time, it takes us a little less time.<\/p>\n

And eventually, we don\u2019t even have to think about it anymore.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a new piece of technology, a new system, a new process, or a new way of doing things, sometimes it\u2019s simply a matter of learning where to click for the first time.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got it, you\u2019ll get used to it.<\/p>\n

And before you know it, something that once took you 20 minutes will become as easy as stepping on a button and turning on the light.<\/p>\n
