In my misspent youth the company I worked for made all the general managers take that Stephen Covey organizational/time management course. It was ludicrous for anyone who actually worked for a living. LOL BUT, the one thing I liked about it was making the list of things to do, and if you didn't complete the list, the undone items went to the top of tomorrow's list. VOILA!<br /><br />(And I always put things I've already done on my list so I can cross them off.
