Work less

It is so easy to walk straight into the working day's activity without THINKING.
I need to take some time to reflect before I start.

Reminds me of an excellent book called the 80/20 Principle, by a guy called Richard Koch.

I personally keep the book on my "immediate" book case as a reminder. In fact, when I was a job seeker (as a contract database and web developer) this book provided the inspiration for starting jobtube.co.uk. Why should I spend all my effort making web sites for other people when I can make one for myself!!

The subtitle for the book could be:
Work less, Earn and Enjoy More
The exciting part for me is the work LESS!
