REDUCE COMMUTE TIME
As the number of cars on the road increases, time spent commuting increases. Consider rapid transit, go-trains, carpools, telecommuting or even a move closer to work in order to reduce this time. But if you drive, don't work - while you're driving, that is.
REACHING A BUSY PERSON
If you suspect that someone will not return your call, try leaving a voice mail message that you'll call again later at a specific time. The more specific the better.
CONTROLLING MEETINGS
Set a deadline for time spent on each agenda item and assign a timekeeper to warn the group when the time is almost up.
MOBILE STORAGE DISK
More convenient than floppies and CDs, these storage sticks will fit on a key ring and transfer files from your office computer to laptop via a USB port. I have one that holds 128 MB but there are ones up to 1 gigabyte or more. They are great for traveling and taking files home with you.
E-MAIL TIP
You leave some space after your e-mail message to distance it from any technical verbiage that is added after transmission.
WARNING TO ENTREPRENEURS
Entrepreneurs work a longer workweek on average (54 hours) than do executives in large corporations (50 hours.)
THE IMPORTANCE OF PURPOSE
Famous people such as Michelangelo, Joan of Arc and Martin Luther King did not owe their success to utilizing every minute or multitasking, but by having a clear purpose in life.
