If you use Tm Menards regularly, checking your schedule becomes routine.
You don’t think about it.
You just:
- log in
- open schedule
- look
- leave
But here’s what most people don’t realize
Even this simple action is often inefficient.
Not because the system is bad.
Because of how you interact with it every time.
The real problem isn’t speed — it’s repetition
Most users repeat the same unnecessary steps daily:
- scanning the interface
- double-checking the same info
- opening multiple sections
- refreshing “just in case”
That adds up fast
Let’s break it down.
Typical inefficient flow:
- Login
- Pause → where to go
- Open schedule
- Scroll
- Check shift
- Re-check details
- Maybe refresh
- Exit
Total time: 30–60 seconds
Now multiply that by:
- multiple checks per day
- multiple workdays
That’s real time lost.
Efficient vs inefficient behavior
| Action | Inefficient user | Efficient user |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Scans every time | Uses same path |
| Checking schedule | Re-checks repeatedly | Checks once |
| Confidence | Low | High |
| Time per session | 40–60 sec | 15–25 sec |
The key difference
Not knowledge.
Habit.
Real method to cut your time in half
1. Lock your navigation path
Don’t decide every time.
Always:
- click same section
- follow same steps
This removes hesitation.
2. Stop “just in case” refreshing
If nothing changed in the last minute:
Refreshing does nothing.
3. Read once — not twice
Most people:
- read → doubt → re-read
Instead:
- read → confirm → move on
4. Check only what matters
You don’t need to:
- scan entire schedule
- re-check past shifts
- open unnecessary details
Focus only on:
- next shift
- relevant day
5. Avoid multi-section jumping
Jumping between sections:
- resets your focus
- increases confusion
- adds delay
Stay in one flow.
Real example
Before:
- login
- look around
- open schedule
- scroll
- re-check
- refresh
- exit
Time: ~50 seconds
After:
- login
- go directly to schedule
- check next shift
- exit
Time: ~20 seconds
The hidden gain
You don’t just save time.
You reduce:
- mental effort
- hesitation
- frustration
Why most people don’t fix this
Because nothing feels “broken.”
So they don’t optimize it.
But small inefficiencies repeated daily = real time loss
