DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FILE IT?

DON’T KNOW WHERE TO FILE IT?

The Every Manager’s Desk Reference (Alpha Books, 2002) suggests a file labeled ‘Don’t Know Where to File” for items you want to retain but don’t fit any category.

MAKE ROOM FOR PRIORITIES

If you have a high priority to do, never ask yourself, “When will I ever get time to do it?” If it is important enough, you have time to do it. Instead, you should be asking, “When will I get time to do all the other stuff?”

INFORMATION CONTINUES TO EXPLODE

According to The Every Manager’s Desk Reference (Alpha Books, 2002), every minute, more information is generated on earth than you can possibly absorb in the rest of your life.

 

PLAN TO ACHIEVE GOALS

It’s great to have goals. But don’t stop there. Draw up a plan of action so you will achieve them.

SEEING THE LIGHT

If you don’t get sufficient sleep, blame Edison. Before he invented the light bulb in 1878, people averaged 10 hours of sleep per night. Within a few years, that dropped to 8. Now it’s even less. (Source: Every Manager’s Desk Reference, Penguin Group, 2002)

REDUCE READING TIME

Don’t read the entire book (non-fiction). Select chapters based on the content pages, scan quickly and read those chapters that provide the best value.

MIND OVER CLUTTER

If everything seems too valuable or important or meaningful to throw away, pretend your house is on fire. If you wouldn’t risk your life to save the stuff, toss it.

INCENTIVE TO TOSS

Alan Trides, a Newport Beach Realtor, claims that the less we keep, the bigger our homes look. (Source: Janet Eastman in the Dec. 30, 2004 issue of Los Angeles Times)
