INDEX: PAGE 4 OF 4
Dear Friends,
All right, here's the finale of the index, at least for now. The ones that I like in this group are the productivity tips listed on April 2nd - May 10th. In those, I tried to sum up about ten of the most important things I could think of in terms of staying productivity in any conditions. I also like February 26, 2002, even though no one ever believes me that the people you pitch to never want to hear the story: they want the pitch, even if they think they don't.
That's my pitch for the day. And here's the index:
