It Would Have Been Easy To Judge Effort By How Many Hours A Day Passed While I Was At Work. That's The Worst Way To Measure Effort. Effort Is Measured By Setting Goals And Getting Results.

I Do Everything Via Email. Which In Turn Works As My Tickler File And Prioritization Queue. I Start At The Top Every Morning And Keep On Going Until I'm Finished. I Don't Do Calls. I Don't Do Meetings.

One Problem People Have Is That They Lie To Themselves. You May Think You Are More Talented Then The Next Guy. Which Is Exactly What The Next Guy Thinks As Well. Rarely Is Talent Enough.
