A few days ago, I received an email that I almost deleted.  I didn't recognize the sender, and the subject line, “Introduction,” didn't explain much.  But when I did read it, I discovered it was from an associate who has occasionally posted a reciprocal link.  He said he'd contact me—no charge—to suggest things I could do to make my listing perform better.  This offer has high value for me. He might reveal tips about the site's customer behaviour that I wasn't aware of. Analyzing his email, I identified three points to improve any business email.  

You may find it difficult writing blog post after blog post to meet a schedule. There is more to it than getting an idea from your reading, then putting it on paper using some sort of formula.  Your writing process should be like this: Get an idea and let it simmer for days or weeks. Wait for an insight on how to tackle the idea. Sometimes do more research before beginning. Write a draft.  Write in your own style. Don't use any formulas.

You can improve even small tasks with efficient planning. Organization does more than help you tackle large projects. Use these tips to be more productive in your day-to-day life. Stand Up Keep meetings short and on topic by conducting 10- to 15-minute “stand-ups.” Studies find that these sorts of meetings are more effective. They are also better for your mental and physical health. Make a Decision Everyone has a "to-do" list. Often more than one. You can cut down on clutter and stress. Immediately address any piece of paper handed to you. As an alternative, block out time on your schedule each day to deal with paperwork.
