"…out-learning the competition" 

HEADLINES:

Apple Profits Fall – First Time in a Decade — I'm in London with the EO chapter (reminiscing about the
early days and Steve Jobs) and this

BBC headline starkly reminded me of Jobs passing. I still think Apple needs
to buy FourSquare so they "acquire" Dennis Crowley. Apple needs another Steve
Jobs and Dennis is the best guy for the job.

Crazy Busy
— (me too, so short insight today) this is the title of Dr. Ned Hallowell's
book, subtitled Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to
Snap! Strategies for Handling Your Fast-Paced Life.
He's an MD who taught at Harvard Medical School for 20 years who wrote the
famous Harvard Business Review
article entitled "Overloaded Circuits: Why Smart People Underperform." To save
you time, he helped us produce a 42
minute online presentation perfect for one of your monthly management
meetings or to view on your own. You'll learn:

• 
  The six
  habits you can start using today to multiply your productivity dramatically.
• 
  How to
  identify your sweet spot – the work where you excel and advance your mission
  best – so you can minimize unproductive uses of your time.
• 
  The art of
  prioritizing and setting boundaries at work.
• 
  Ways to break
  from time-draining smart phone dependency and electronic addiction.
• 
  Strategies
  for avoiding common time drains, from over commitment to people who suck away
  your time and energy like leeches.

F-State
— Even if you have a full plate at work, you don't have to live in what Dr.
Hallowell calls the "F State:" Frantic, frenzied, frenetic, fearful, forgetful,
frustrated and furious. Instead, he explains how to get to the "C Stage" where
you will perform at your best. This is a state where you are creative, careful,
concentrated, curious and courteous. Setting up your life so that you live in
the C Stage will allow you to get a lot more done in less time, and live a more
satisfying, healthier life (where his MD training kicks in). It's a matter of
managing your life and not letting life manage you – techniques that align with
the Rockefeller Habits. Take
a look at his presentation – always money back guarantee.
