Inspirational Thought for the Weekend

If you want to get to you goals quickly you
have got to get clarity on why you want it.
What does it mean to you? Why do you need
it in your life? And the stronger and more
important the why – the more power you

6 Questions That Can Help You to Make 2010 a Simpler and Lighter Year

Anthony Robbins

“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.”

Time is limited. The amount of time each day that you are able to focus and get things done is even smaller. You have a few precious hours.
You can get things done faster by for instance setting deadlines and by batching similar tasks (like answering all your emails in a row). That works very well.
