- Effectiveness is goal orientation. It's picking something to do. This is doing the right things—picking a goal and doing that goal.
- Efficiency is doing things in an economical way, process-oriented.

Resolve Inbox Issues
- Change the way emails appear in your inbox: set up a folder for emails that you're Cc'd on and a folder for emails that come directly to you.
- Don't reply to emails in the morning (or at night): it teaches people that they should expect future replies from you at that time.
- Keep your emails to 3-4 sentences.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
