The ultimate productivity lesson

Saying no and cutting back time commitments are some of the hardest things to do when attempting to be productive.  We get stuck on doing things a certain way and for particular reasons that made sense when we began but may lose their logic as time goes by.

After a year of blogging in support of my book, I will be taking a hiatus while I decide whether to proceed.  Since I've only had three pageviews in the last month, all from Russia, I don't think I'll be missed.  If I am, please let me know in the comments or by email.  Thanks!

happiness at work
