Tips for Productivity

Five quick tips for increased productivity. You can thank me later.

1. If you have to work late because every deadline you could possibly have all fall on the same day (that day being tomorrow), do not go home and plan to work from there. It doesn't matter that you only ate a crappy PB&J for lunch and are now so hungry that you're sure you will literally die if you don't eat something. Just stay at work, suck on some sugar packets and hammer it out.

2. Do not call your mom on the way home from grabbing food (you know, so you don't die) thinking that you'll get in a quick chat. Especially when you haven't talked to her for several weeks and you need to explain how, when and where you are moving. (I'm moving!)

3. Do not work from the couch. With or without the TV on.

4. Do not turn on the TV. It will never just be "background noise". It will be American Idol. And you will watch it.

5. Do not realize what a bust your night has been and proceed to document it for the benefit of the Internet.

Might I add to your list, Do not play on You Tube. :)

No, you may not. But thank you for asking so politely.

And I don't even know this "YouTube" of which you speak...

moving like across town or out of state? it's not fair to leave it hanging like that.
