I follow trends and one trend I see the the trend towards infographics. Check out this infographic from Imgur on Twitter Tips for Time Management.

Take the Stairs

CEO Blog

Take the Stairs - 7 Steps to Achieving True Success is book by Rory Vaden. I agree wholeheartedly with his point of view. Don't just take the easy way - take the way that has the best results long term. As the title suggests - take the stairs rather then the escalator or elevator (a habit I do 80% of the time if it is less then 4 flights (and often the other is because I do not know where the stairs are)) His seven steps: 1 - Sacrifice.
