    1. Do a time inventory and schedule time inventories every 3 weeks.
    2. Set goals.
    3. Set specific tasks with time frames
    4. Use an organizational system (use David Allen’s 2-minute rule)
    5. Physical fitness
    6. Use peak performance times
    7. Clean the clutter in your office, home, and nooks and crannies
    8. Set and respect deadlines
    9. Treat emails and your physical inbox as OTHER people’s agenda, not your own
    10. Negotiate your open-door policy
    11. Assign responsibilities during the conversation on the subject, and communicate feedback action steps on-the-spot
    12. Observe meeting start and end times strictly
    13. Manage multiple projects so you can mentally change gears and keep busy
    14. Say “no” to new projects if you can’t commit the time necessary, or if it unrelated to your Definite Major Purpose
    15. Reward yourself and alternate pleasant and unpleasant tasks
