"Short & effective advice!" - by Sasan on 22-DEC-2011

Well said and reviewed by defining desired outcome, settings goals, reminding the 20/80 effeciency rule and removing energy distractions caused by inner conflicts or open loops all to enjoy the work & focus on the task to improve the productivity. Looks at the job in 3 simple steps: before, during and after reaching the goals to maximize the energy cycle. Good to notice & think about it.
