Jim Collins (From in Good To Great) : Thursday, November 4, 2010

Most of us lead busy, but undisciplined lives.
We have ever-expanding to do lists, trying to build momentum by doing, doing, doing- and doing more. Those who build the good to great companies, however, made as much use of stop doing lists as the to do lists. They displayed a remarkable amount of discipline to unplug all sorts of extraneous junk.

Lead yourself. Thats where it all starts. Besides, if you wouldnt follow yourself, why should anyone else?
- John C. Maxwell (from The 360 Leader)
Juggling too many tasks?

Which tasks are important? Which tasks do I complete first? How do I accomplish tasks that are personally exhausting?
How do I step back and provide myself with direction?
How do I lead myself and avoid being a patient of Dr. Cox?
