No magic formulas yet but let's keep this thread and idea running on ours or any other blogs...it's too good a topic not to.<br /><br />I read in a time management book that people who stop and take the time each morning to outline their goals for any given day tend to be far more successful and far more productive. I know there are correlation/causation issues here, as the types of people who would follow through on the list might be better at following through on the tasks, but I really think there's something to this -- trying to envision/plan out your day before it happens is a great way to help steer it where you'd like. <br /><br />One way I could greatly improve my effiency would be better use of time spent in transit (in my case, that's mostly the car). I keep trying to promise myself I'll spend more time with audiobooks and such *smart* things, but then there's that tempting path of least resistance of following a long workday up with some mindless radio tunes. <br /><br />Also, a very wise man once told me "Don't ever waste your time trying to chase the daily news cycle." Use it instead for real thinking or other ways to expand...if something is really that big of a deal, you'll hear about it.The New Englanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201310505648616855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665619563748706349.post-70884914923382682272010-11-09T20:15:45.348-08:002010-11-09T20:15:45.348-08:00I know the challenge.

I need it.<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.com
