STICKY PAD
If you use your car dashboard to house sunglasses, cell phone or wallet while driving, you could be wasting time retrieving the items from the floor or under the seat after the trip. You can stop these items from sliding every time you turn a corner or come to a sudden stop by applying the new Sticky Pad. Sticky Pad is only a few inches in diameter, conforms to any dashboard, is removable, washable, reusable, and believe it or not, works!
BE IN THE MOMENT
Our mind is always working in the future or the past and that we should slow down and dwell on the present as it happens. Otherwise we will miss much of what life has to offer.
STAY SEATED
Once you commit yourself to work on a task for an hour or so, you should stay seated until the time is up. Resist the urge to interrupt yourself, even to get a coffee. Self-discipline is the key to personal productivity.
EASY ACCESS MORE IMPORTANT
We have been trained to focus on neatness at the expense of accessibility. Make sure your materials are accessible first, then consider neatness as a secondary factor.
E-MAIL OBSESSION
Unless both parties can type faster that they speak, it's usually more time effective to schedule a phone call or a meeting rather than carry on lengthy discussions by e-mail.
TAKE A TECHNOLOGY BREAK
What would happen if you didn't use your computer, fax machine, cell phone, e-mail or electronic gadgets for a full day? Well, the recent power failure indicated we would take time to actually speak to one another, be helpful, exhibit creativity and make the most of a bad situation. If the blackout had been planned, would it have relieved stress as well? It makes you think that a periodic break from technology might not be a bad idea.
IDENTIFY YOUR PRIORITIES
If money were no object, 43% of the respondents would travel and 29% would spend time with family and friends. It usually doesn't take much money to spend time with family and friends. Have you identified what's important to you? And if so, are those priorities reflected in your planner?
