Great Productivity Tips

Legal Coach Ed Poll has five productivity tips on his Coach to Lawyers Weblog from a presentation he attended by Nido Qubein. Nido's tips:

1. Call or write 4 people every week (Monday to Friday).
2. Get the "clean desk" habit -- do today what you can, don't leave it for tomorrow.
3. Return all calls on the day received (still the number one complaint against attorneys in State Bar Disciplinary Boards around the country!).
4. Read one hour every day.
5. Read the newspaper at night (it's faster because you've heard some of it already and you'll know what's important ... and you won't start your day depressed by the murder and mayhem reported daily).

I met Ed at the ABA national convention in Atlanta about ten years ago. He writes some great stuff for lawyers and has started posting more to his blog. He needs a link from his blog to his main website though.
