WHEN IDEAS DON'T WORK

WHEN IDEAS DON'T WORK

 

If you make changes only to find that you slip back into your original time wasting habits, it could be that you have not bought into the idea. Changing your behavior without changing your mind seldom results in permanent behavior change.

 

DEFINITION

 

Ineffectiveness: Doing perfectly that which is unnecessary.

 

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.
