///////////////Parkison’s Law says that a task will expand to fill thetime available for it. If you give yourself one hour tocomplete a task, that’s how long it will take. If you giveyourself an entire day to complete a task, you will findways to fill up the entire day working on that one thing.
This is why it’s so important to give yourself shortdeadlines. Give yourself 30 minutes to an hour to completesomething and watch how your productivity soars.

//////////////////////////Go on an Information Diet
Most of the world lives on information overload.
Albert Einstein once said, “Reading after a certain age,diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Anyman who reads too much and uses his own brain too littlefalls into lazy habits of thinking.”
Now, I’m all for reading. I think a book is one of the bestgifts you can give to yourself or to others.
However, do we really need to read 3 different newspapers,multiple magazines, and too many blogs to count?
Please stop the endless torture to your poor little cranium.
From this point forward, I suggest you go on a strictlow-information diet. Now, as a webmaster myself, I knowthat you may need some exposure to our world of info.
However, it’s crucial that you only consume the propersources.
The key is to limit yourself only to information that youcan immediately take action on. So if you’re writing anarticle, the only information you will need is that whichrelates to the article. If you’re making a decision aboutyour business, the only information you will need is thatwhich will help you make your decision.
But remember, you will never have all of the information youneed to make the perfect decisioin. Don’t get stuck inanalysis by paralysis.
I highly suggest that you look for books first because theInternet is always one click away from an endless timewaster.
If you are looking for a book on a certain topic, don’twaste your time searching the library or the bookstore. Goto Amazon and find which books are rated highest under thecategory you’re looking for. Browse through thebest-seller list. Read the reviews.
This way, you’re only reading the best of the best. You’regetting the golden nuggets without having to sift throughhours of reading.
In addition, only read sections of the book that you canimmediately take action on.
Time Savings from an Information Diet = Approximately 1 hour

///////////////These are the people who inspire me! I've studied them, and I've noticed they have the following traits in common:
They work hard! Yes, they play hard, too! They get up early, they rarely complain, they expect performance from others, but they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off.
They are incredibly curious and eager to learn. They study, ask questions and read—constantly! An interesting point, however: While most of them did well in school, the difference is that they apply or take advantage of what they learn. Repeated success is not about memorizing facts, it's about being able to take information and create, build, or apply it in new and important ways. Successful people want to learn everything about everything!
They network. They know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to friends, neighbors, co- workers and bartenders. They don't have to be "the life of the party," in fact many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. Successful people have a Rolodex full of people who value their friendship and return their calls.
They work on themselves and never quit! While the "over-night wonders" become arrogant and quickly disappear, really successful people work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, and every other detail of life. When a relationship or business deal goes sour, they assume they can learn from it and they expect to do better next time. Successful people don't tolerate flaws; they fix them!
They are extraordinarily creative. They go around asking, "Why not?" They see new combinations, new possibilities, new opportunities and challenges where others see problems or limitations. They wake up in the middle of the night yelling, "I've got it!" They ask for advice, try things out, consult experts and amateurs, always looking for a better, faster, cheaper solution. Successful people create stuff!
They are self-reliant and take responsibility. Incredibly successful people don't worry about blame, and they don't waste time complaining. They make decisions and move on.…Extremely successful people take the initiative and accept the responsibilities of success.
They are usually relaxed and keep their perspective. Even in times of stress or turmoil, highly successful people keep their balance, they know the value of timing, humor, and patience. They rarely panic or make decisions on impulse. Unusually successful people breath easily, ask the right questions, and make sound decisions, even in a crisis.
Extremely successful people live in the present moment. They know that "Now" is the only time they can control. They have a "gift" for looking people in the eye, listening to what is being said, enjoying a meal or fine wine, music or playing with a child. They never seem rushed, and they get a lot done! They take full advantage of each day. Successful people don't waste time, they use it!
They "look over the horizon" to see the future. They observe trends, notice changes, see shifts, and hear the nuances that others miss. A basketball player wearing Nikes is trivial, the neighbor kid wearing them is interesting, your own teenager demanding them is an investment opportunity! Extremely successful people live in the present, with one eye on the future!
Repeatedly successful people respond instantly! When an investment isn't working out, they sell. When they see an opportunity, they make the call. If an important relationship is cooling down, they take time to renew it. When technology or a new competitor or a change in the economic situation requires an adjustment, they are the first and quickest to respond.
These traits work together in combination, giving repeatedly successful people a huge advantage. Because they are insatiable learners, they can respond wisely to change. Because their personal relationships are strong, they have good advisors, and a reserve of goodwill when things go bad. And finally, none of these traits are genetic! They can be learned! They are free and they are skills you can use. Start now!
