Memo: To Improve, Know Thyself

Article Abstract:

Klaber's advice is to plan - and that includes the next day's agenda, or the details of each project, as well as time for reflection. She also advises making decisions quickly, expecially minor ones, learning to say no, rewarding oneself for meeting objectives, and finding techniques for getting rid of repetitive tasks.
