Fear is your friend. It is an indicator. Sometimes it shows you what you shouldn't do, more often than not it shows you what you should do.

People feel personally slighted if you don't respond to them in 30 seconds and treat email as instant messenger.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.

Poisonous people do not deserve your time. To think otherwise is masochistic.
