MEETINGS‣Start on time.
“If people are coming late to meetings, all you need to do to fix that is to start on time, regardless of who is present. Close the meeting when nobody’s there after 10 minutes. They’ll get the message and at the next meeting, they will be on time.”
- Mark Horstman, Manager Tools

TASKS‣Schedule a Weekly Review
‣ “Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.”
‣David Allen, Getting Things Done
