ParadoxicalProductivity, Number 18

Write Small, Think Big

One 3 x 5 card. Half a dozen bullets. The priorities for the week. Look at it regularly. Look at it before the meeting. Look at it after the meeting. Look at it while having a doppio. Check it while standing in the queue for the deli. Check it on the train home. Tape it to the top of your iPad.

Never lose sight of the vital few which will banish the trivial many.
