Keep on schedule.

To help me celebrate new achievements in this department that are coming down the pike (I WILL GET GOOD AT THIS!) here's something to take a look at, especially if you are also into marketing:

More No Brainers

Continuing our theme from last time, I thought of a couple more...

No Brainer #5
KEEP LEARNING
Takes two things to do this:
One has to maintain a teachable mindset - maybe the
hardest part.
One needs a teacher. Now the teacher can be a
person, or books, or other media, just
something wiser, different from what is
already known.
