# Making time to do the things right

Watch Alex Cowan discuss the advantages to taking the time and energy to do a project right.

#### Share this step

In this video, Alex discusses ways to create time, create space, and create focus around some of the methods learned in this course, so you can get the time and attention you need from your collaborators to go through and apply them. This will help you drive to really good outcomes, and it will probably save everybody a lot of time.

Alex says that “people have time but they also have a finite amount of energy” so you need to harness the energy. Do you have any methods you have used to create time and space to do things right at your workplace?
