Have you ever considered having your own personal rules to follow? These rules are your GPS that guides you without first having to figure things out. It allows you get through the day more efficiently, accomplish your tasks faster and finish your day happier.
Over the past month, articles with the word rules have come a cross my desk repeatedly. It looks like the universe is telling me something.
Let’s start with the definition of the word rules.
Rules tell you what you are allowed to do and what not.
Most rules are imposed by an authority or somebody else. Some rules are easy to accept and follow, but others just rub you the wrong way.
I don’t want to talk about rules imposed by others. I want you to think about rules you can create for yourself to make your life easier to manage and from a productivity point of view improve your efficiency.
The first rule I consider a no-brainer. It’s the Golden Rule:
Treat others the way you want to be treated
