A bit different to my last topic if you read that. Just a ramble of my own thoughts if anything!

Imagine a world in which everyone was the same. Imagine we were all 6 feet tall with brown hair, blue eyes and perfect teeth.

How do you do it all? You don't!

Don't take on too much at once. Instead of trying to be great at lots of things, be great at a few and good at the rest.

Find one or two things you're great at that you enjoy - your job, writing, running, lifting weights, woodworking, knitting, chess, tobogganing, whatever! Focus on those one or two things. Commit more time to those and perfect your craft.

I had an email yesterday in which someone asked the question "what should I do when I have an unproductive day?" The answer, "nothing".

We can't be productive all the time. We can't worry about it all the time and certainly not now when there's too much other s**t going on.

If you have a day where it seems nothing gets done, it's not the end of the world.

Had a productive day? Great, celebrate it. Not had a productive day? Don't worry about it. Move on. Who's going to arrest you?

Parkinson's Law: "Work expands so as to fill the time available for it's completion".

If you assign two hours to a task then it'll take you two hours. If you assign an hour to that task, it'll take you an hour. Keep this in mind next time you have a deadline or a lot to keep up with.
