Advice in the book includes:
- #18 Take it one thing at a time.
Concentrate on doing one thing at a time today. Stop multi-tasking. Notice how long it takes you to get your job done today versus the days you normally do more than one thing at the same time.
- #34 Smile
Do you smile at work? If not, you may be confusing your serious look with professionalism. The reality is that not smiling just makes you look unhappy.
- #41 Take Ten
