A 90-Minute Plan for Personal Effectiveness - Tony... →

I really like Tony Scwartz’ advice. Decide what’s really important to do the night before. Spend the first 90 minutes of each day, unplugged and totally focussed on achieving that. Don’t be distracted, don’t take a break until the 90 minutes are up. So that means no emails, meetings etc - unless one of those has been declared the most important thing. Here’s the...

From the television series: "Yes, Minister"

Sir Humphrey: "I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence in order to discharge a by-no-means disagreeable obligation which has, over the years, become more or less established practice within government circles as we approach the terminal period of the calendar year, of course, not financial. In fact, not to put too fine a point on it, Week Fifty-One and submit to you, with all appropriate deference, for your consideration at a convenient juncture, a sincere and sanguine expectation -- indeed confidence, indeed one might go so far as to say hope -- that the aforementioned period may be, at the end of the day, when all relevant factors have been taken into consideration, susceptible to being deemed to be such as to merit a final verdict of having been by no means unsatisfactory in its overall outcome and, in the final analysis, to give grounds for being judged, on mature reflection, to have been conducive to generating a degree of gratification which will be seen in retrospect to have been significantly higher than the general average."

Jim Hacker: "Are you trying to say 'Happy Christmas,' Humphrey?"
Sir Humphrey: "Yes, Minister."
