POWER OF WRITTEN GOALS

Those who write down their goals are 90 times more likely to accomplish them than those who don't. (Source unavailable)

ORGANIZING FOR COMFORT

Your work surface for writing should be 28 ½ inches from the floor. Your computer keyboard should be 24 to 27 inches from the floor. The monitor should 16 to 28 inches from your face. (Source: Working at Home by Lindsay O'Connor.)

PLAN & DON"T QUIT

Denis Waitley and Rani L. Witt, in their book, The Joy of Working, claims the majority of people never achieve their goals because first, they fail to plan, and second, if they do plan they fail to plan again.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUTTING

If you're reluctant to throw things out because you might need them some day, try this. Put the contents of your junk drawer into a carton, quickly seal it, mark it and store it out of sight. When you next open it, perhaps several years later, you will find that you never missed, needed or looked for any of this stuff in the meantime.
