The Passionate Pursuit of Efficiency
-Monthly Tip-
 
Do you ever check your email, then go back and mark it as 'unread' until you can come back to it later. Touching an email twice is totally inefficient and a big time waster. Try this instead: if you open an email, do one of the following: Reply, File, or Delete. If you don't do one of those actions, you probably shouldn't have been in your inbox in the first place.

Greetings!

 

Are you a source of positive energy? Do you know that it's contagious? Our energy, positive or negative, impacts our productivity. Next time you catch yourself being a downer, turn your negative thinking around -

  • Give more than you'd expect in return
  • Pay a compliment, even to someone you don't really know
  • Anticipate the best outcome by visualizing it
  • Count your blessings. Be grateful and give thanks for the special things in your life rather than taking them for granted.

It pays to be positive...try it.
