SELECTIVE READING

SELECTIVE READING

 

More information is generated in a 24-hour period than you could take in for the rest of your life. We are being swamped with information. Recreational reading aside, zero in on information that serves a productive purpose; don't feel you have to read the entire book, article or report.

 

ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE

 

When you install the last copier cartridge, printer ink, projector bulb etc., always replace it immediately. Don't

Be caught running to the office supply store to keep a piece of machinery going.

 

PLAN IN THE EVENING

 

Spend at least 15 or 20 minutes at the end of each day to plan for tomorrow. If you leave it until the morning you may walk into a crisis and never plan at all. If you plan the evening before, you will be reserving your prime time for action, not reflection.

 

THE POSITIVE APPROACH TO TIME MANAGEMENT

 

Your prime purpose at work should not be to avoid wasting time, but to achieve significant results. The former

Mindset encourages you to keep busy; the latter encourages you to be productive.

 

E-MAIL ETIQUETTE

 

Every e-mail should have a salutation and closing. Don't  assume your e-mail address will identify you.

 

DISTRACTED DRIVERS

 

30 percent of the drivers used cell phones while driving, 97 percent leaned over to reach for something and 91 percent fiddled with radio controls. Swerving was most likely to occur while reaching, eating, using cell phones or tending to infants.

 

PERFECTIONISM IS UNHEALTHY

 

Perfectionists are 75% more likely to get sick than other people.
