That’s true, if you’re not able to decide what you want and don’t want to spend your time/money/attention on, you’ll get scammed and used by others. Just be aware of the stuff that’s happening around you.

Small is definitely the new big.

I use timeboxes to minimize and maximize my connected time. when it’s unboxed, that’s when I get into trouble.

@arohan – I haven’t read Covey’s book, actually, but I’ve read many others that touch on the same topic. Even 4HWW deals with it. And various Zen-inspired books. I learned the 80/20 principle a long time ago and for me that sums a lot of it up. It’s hard to make the jump, though.

@TAM – thanks! And thanks for buying Canadian:) just joking… I still don’t know if I’ll get an iPhone or a RIM product… still using my old cell, saving money…

You are raining down the motivation on us today. This is one of my favorite articles from you! Bravo my friend. The busier that I get, the more I’m trying to work smarter…not harder. To this end, I even bought a blackberry today. Hope it helps.
Blessings to ya!

I find Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits to be a effective way of focusing my attention on the right topics. Even if you are not too methodical about following the principles, if you just realign your mindset in that manner you will be on your way towards more productivity and better balance.
