“Your success in life and work will be determined by the kinds of habits that you develop over time. The habit of setting priorities, overcoming procrastination, and getting on with your most important task is a mental and physical skill. As such, this habit is learnable through practice and repetition, over and over again, until it locks into your subsconscious mind and becomes a permanent part of your behaviour.”

“The key result areas of management are: Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Delegating, Supervising, Measuring and Reporting.

“The ABCDE Method is a powerful priority setting technique that you can use every single day. Here’s how it works: You start with a list of everything you have to do for the coming day. Think on paper. An "A" item is defined as something that is very important. This is something that you must do. A "B" item is defined as a task that you should do. But it only has mild consequences. A "C" task is defined as something that would be nice to do, but for which there are no consequences at all, whether you do it or not. A "D" task is defined as something you can delegate to someone else. An "E" task is defined as something that you can eliminate altogether and it won't make any real difference.”

“Perhaps the most important word in the world of work is “contribution.” Your rewards, both financial and emotional, will always be in direct proportion to your results, to the value of your contribution. If you want to increase your rewards, you must focus on increasing the value of what you do. You must dedicate yourself to contributing more results to your company. And there are always three key tasks that contribute the most.”
