You can use three questions on a regular basis to keep yourself focused on getting your most important tasks completed on schedule. The first question is, "What are my highest value activities?" The second question you can ask continually is, "What can I and only I do that, if done well, will make a real difference?" This question comes from Peter Drucker, the management guru. The third question you can ask is, "What is the most valuable use of my time right now?"- Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog
Many people take themselves far too seriously. As kids, we laugh a lot, we dream a lot, but then we grow up and become a heart attack waiting to happen! Researchers have investigated why some people can't cope and found three reasons: low self-esteem, living in the past, and can't laugh at themselves. In fact, one study indicates that we need a minimum of twelve laughs a day just to stay healthy. Laugh at yourself! Laugh with your friends, your family, your co-workers. It will keep you going, keep you healthy, and keep you motivated.
