Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

Publishing this edition of the Arsenal Of Goals & Plans Carnival at this hour is part of today's plan.  It was scheduled for August 3 and it's that now here (1:15am).  The thing is that I'm leaving the house and the computer early in the morning (and am not a morning person) and won't be back until early evening.  In my mind, carnivals should be available during the day. You're right; it's always daytime somewhere.  Somehow, though, it only feels like day during the hours of local light and that's the direction where we're headed.

PRODUCTIVITY

The truth is, if you are unable to delegate, you are really just an employee with a raise in pay; you are not a manager."
