It forces people to find an alternative and acts as a filter against people who wont think for themselves. Plus the biggest bonus assuming you dont tape your cell calls ... its all down on paper and avoid any confusion. Thanks again for the list I will take note of a few of the others mentioned in the comments. Hi Tim

Thanks for sharing! The best of all, I like habit 7. If I keep myself busy doing things, it is going to stress me out. Instead, if I prioritize all activities within my project, I am happy, because I know some of the most important things are completed. Here's an article about why to do lists do not work for some folks, and what to do about them: http://doubletimetoday.com/get-organized/why-are-to-do-lists-counter-productive/ Very solid info Tim! Thanks for sharing!
