NVA - Non Valueadding activities

In the 6 sigma methodology there is a concept of removing the non value adding activities in a process to make efficient / customer friendly.

Now lets look at NVA from the spiritual point of view

If its not your duty

If its not for the larger good

If its not for knowledge or self realisation

If its not making you a better human being or karam yogi or a bhakt

Its likely to fall in the NVA category. So its best dropped out as its consuming your time & energy and not helping you achieve any of your goals.
