In this episode, Jason explains why corridors and level one should usually be treated differently in a Takt plan instead of being lumped into the same rhythm as the rest of the floor. He shares why these areas take more abuse from traffic, often need a strategic "start-gap-finish" approach, and are better handled as exit zones or final zones so the rest of the work can stay clear, leveled, and flowing. The goal is not just protecting finishes, but also sending the right visual signal to the team that the floor is truly progressing in an organized way.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why corridors often need to be treated as separate exit zones in a phase.
• Why level one is usually better handled differently because of traffic and wear.
• How a start-gap-finish sequence can protect rhythm while still allowing progress.
• Why getting corridors to drywall, tape, bed, finish, and prime can create the right mental signal.
• How strategic comeback work is better than an unplanned, irresponsible return later.

Are you planning your corridors and level one to truly support flow or just hoping they survive the traffic?
