The 15:4 rule

Don't miss Amy's excellent post In Praise of Lists, especially this:

Consider making the following ritual part of your day.

Follow the 15:4 rule: Spending fifteen minutes thinking about what you are going to do before you start will save four hours of wasted time later on. Any individual who has thought through her workday, set priorities, and organized the day’s tasks is likely to accomplish far more than someone who moves randomly through the day. ~Stephanie Winston

This goes hand-in-hand with a post I wrote yesterday for PRMama on organization. (Yes, some of it might sound very familiar to my regular blog readers, since it was a "recycled post.")

I liked that quote, so much so that I borrowed it for my own blog. I had some thoughts as well. You can read them here: The 15:4 Rule.
