Employment

Getting more done Note that I'm not saying quantity is better than quality - just that you need to know when good enough is good enough and when efforts to polish your work farther run into the law of diminishing returns. Writing is an area where perhaps some people spend too little time polishing and buffing, but I'm convinced that most spend far too much time.
You sounded annoyed We were eating dinner when my business phone rang. Ordinarily I'd just let that go to voice mail and call back after finishing up eating, but it just ten to five and I recognized the caller ID as a customer who doen't call with trivial stuff. I hesitated, but figured that he probably had something important and that he's like to get out of there at five if he could, so I put down my fork and took the call.
Sound mind, sound body I'm sixty years old and serious about physical fitness. Almost every day I get on the rowing machine and crank out fifteen minutes at a sweat producing pace, do at least twenty minutes of brisk walking, lunges, situps, pullups, dips, pushups and more. I'm strong and healthy.
