Thought Tweet #967 Time management tip: file files. Their name lets us know what we are supposed to do with them.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Well...that is why they call them files isn't it?
I mean - those things don't have that name because of some other qualities...shouldn't we do our part to help them live up to their name yet not be confused with their less-flexible, more-abrasive cousins?

Thought Tweet #965 On Incompetence Road: we stumble over people and processes; we get bogged down in problems' potholes and ruts.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
- There are lots of potholes where I drive and I listen to self-help CDs while I am driving.
- Business Contains Only 3 Things: People, Process, & Situations.
Like roads, some Situations contain potholes.

Thought Tweet #948 If you want to teach people how to drink water, don't stuff garden hoses down their throats.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Good things come in small packages.
Good education comes in small packages.
If you want to teach people how to drink water, provide them repeated opportunities to gain experience sipping from small, half-full drinking glasses.
***
If you want to teach people how to drink water, bring the right tools...bring simple tools, like drinking glasses...no garden hoses...no fire hoses...no artesian well trackers or fancy 24-hour, on-demand pumps or state-of-the-art osmosis gizmos...
...just drinking glasses.
