Mr. Splinter considers himself good at multitasking. He starts many projects and does a little toward completing them periodically. His perspective of time is reflected in how he conducts his staff meetings. The meeting are listed with a 8:00 am start time, but sometimes he send emails postponing them by an hour or two, or cancelling them entirely. Last week he let the 8:00 start time remain, but then he was 10 minutes late, and began a 15 minute conversation with the staff about an upcoming martial arts competition. Although that meeting ended up running an hour over its projected conclusion time, the team didn't complete all of its the agenda items. As the team departed, Mr. Splinter told them, "No worries, we'll get this stuff done whenever."
