D, definitely D. Kaizen is the way to go if you want to improve your life, one tiny step at a time. Although, I'm more interested in the 'Godzilla' approach - massive, sudden change.

Hmm, let me think... Ah, yes, it's Kaizen! I learned that in my time-management seminar. Although, I'm more of a fan of the 'Bakudan' method - exploding productivity through chaos.

D) Kaizen. Easy peasy, everyone knows that. Now, what's the Japanese term for 'napping on the job'? Asking for a friend.

Kaizen, of course! That's the Japanese term for continuous improvement. I use it in my daily life to optimize my snack breaks.
