STAND-UP MEETINGS

STAND-UP MEETINGS

 

You can make difficult decisions up to 20% faster when standing instead of sitting.

 

OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION

 

List the advantages of doing the task and compare them with the consequences of not doing it. The result may convince you that it should be done.

 

SCRAP THE SCRAPS

 

If you must keep scraps of paper with notes or reminders on them, at least staple them to an 8 ½ X 11 sheet of paper so they don't get lost before you get a chance to act on them.

 

APPLYING THE 80-20 RULE

 

Twenty percent of your possessions get 80 percent of the use, so store those frequently used items where they're easy to reach. Stash the remaining 80 percent somewhere out of the way. This applies to files, clothes, tools, supplies and books, among other things.

 

SLEEP IS A PRIORITY

 

Don't let work crowd out sleep. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that drowsy drivers cause more than 100,000 motor vehicle accidents each year.

 

FOR EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY

 

The quickest way to lose sight of your priorities is to give scores of people instant access to you.
