How to Be a More Effective ... Whatever

Posted by Paul Falvo

This is where the Rotary Club de Paris has lunch. This has nothing to do with this story. But I needed somewhere to put the photo.

The "One Minute Manager," "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," ... all these well-known tomes share some common truths, according to The Rotarian magazine.

If your time management skills have never led you to complete these books, here for your reading pleasure, is a brief summary, super condensed. You might call it the "four-way plan."

1. PREPARE - start your day with a list

2. TACKLE your list - don't get bogged down in less important stuff

3. THINK - stay calm, be positive

4. LIVE in the moment! - concentrate on the task at hand, and feel good about what you accomplish

Yours in Rotary,

Paul
