How do you put Lean Thinking into use?

When I am working, I naturally migrate from different stages of thinking through the Lean Cycles of CAP-Do, SDCA, PDCA, EDCA. I use all of them at a micro and macro level but often in very different ways.

Reading the book Making Thinking Visible (Amazon Link: http://amzn.to/2wXnL0Q) helped me collect my thoughts on this subject. The book discussed the organization of thinking routines in a similar manner to how I use the Lean cycles.

Are there other ways that you use them?

Does it look like I have a hammer and everything is a nail?
