Don't work lots; work well instead
Some people just seem to get a lot done: some of them might works two jobs, and yet has time for his family and -- yes -- for a social life -- never looking stressed in the meantime. Are they super-humans? No, they are simply people who know that it's not how much you work that counts, but how you do it.
The basic rules are very simple and yet seem so hard to apply:
- No interruptions
- No instant messengers
- No email.
