Secret #124 The High Cost of Joyriding on the WWW

The Internet is a vehicle.

IF you know where you want to go, a vehicle is a very helpful tool to get you there.

On the other hand, joyriding in this day and age will cost you more time and money than you think.

There's a difference between using the Internet... and letting the Internet use you.

Before you jump into the vehicle of the Internet to cruise down the road of the world wide web, you should consider this question:

Do you know where you want to go on the Internet today... or are you just joyriding?

Secret #88 The Titantic Principle

In the frenetic pace to figure out how to get more time, we often focus our attention on "time-saving" devices and ideas. That is, we seek to be efficient because we think that it will "save time." Yet, focusing your attention on being efficient is a good thing ONLY if you're doing something worthwhile in the first place.

"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."
--Peter Drucker


Think about it. Are you really being efficient if you're cleaning the kitchen on the Titantic?

It's quite possible to be wonderfully efficient at something that's not really worth doing.

It's just a thought.
