PRODUCTIVITY OVERALL

         Productivity comes from a number of factors we will work with, but it must first start in
           formulating, in written form, specific goals and specific actions.  Without that, no one can
           be powerfully effective in life.  (See SiteMap III materials.)   Your productivity will be
           dramatically increased through following the practices and perspectives in the Life
           Management section.

    Read in this order:

              THE 80/20 PRINCIPLE - One of the most valuable principles of all time.  Use it to
                 manage your life and your life will be several 100%'s better! 
              Creating the Desired Results - The Process That Must Be Engaged In - You must go
                 through these steps to be productive, which means actually produce results.  Those
                 who don't do not succeed. ("The Secret" doesn't work without these pieces being
                 included!!!)
              The Power Of Concentrated Focus - A booster rocket for forward progress.
              Payoffs, Diminishing And Increasing Returns, When To Quit - A vital principle to be
                 aware of.  The productive person also knows when to stop putting time into
                 something - and to go to what is more productive.   
              The Law Of Enough Dots - Enough but not too much.  Enough so you can proceed
                  properly from this vital principle.

             And a little secret weapon:  Theme Days - Rejuvenating, fulfilling, results producing,
                 seems to expand time and make life easier.
