As I sat in the library today, furiously typing out my philosophy paper, I took notice of the gorgeous weather outside and a sudden desire to wander down to the Tidal Basin and sit in the presence of the monuments overwhelmed me. After wrapping up my draft, I set about to satisfy my desires. I was immediately faced with the question of how I would reach my destination: would I hop on the shuttle bus to the Metro station and take the subway down? Would I grab a taxi? Would I walk the most direct way through town? Or would I take the scenic route along the Potomac River? All four alternatives would lead me to the very bench that I now sit on as I type this post; the difference would be the experience of the journey to reach my goal.

I was recently approached by Mr. Scott Karstetter with an offer to try his new Smart To-Do List Software. As a blogger I’m always looking to give my readers the best informative reviews of the products I use or check out, so I was more than happy to try out this new software.
I just finished reading “The Greatest Management Principle in the World” by Michael LeBoeuf, and I am rather impressed. Though the book was written in 1985, way before the GTD movement, this book is rather inspirational in not only getting things done, but also in creative and lateral thinking, as well as tips on achieving more and things of that nature. Leboeuf stresses that “The Things that get rewarded, get done,” to explain how to manage people and how rewards consistantly achieve better results than punishments. I’ll go into a little detail of what should be rewarded and a couple of other ideas from the book. (more…)
