I just want to express my thanks for all the contributors here and the great posts. I've hardly been able to keep up since my recent join with WA, but my take-away is that I'm in a good place.

I want to simply touch on use of time, a resource we all have - and BTW, any time is a lot. How do we make the best use of it? The best tool for me to optimize the use of time has come to be a spiral steno pad with date at the top for day with just 3 goals for the next day written in bullet points, importance high to low: Recent example for me:

- Complete Chapter 4 for real estate fundamentals (summary test as well)

- Call Jack Frost on interview follow-up.

- Write thank you notes to mastermind contributors from meeting last week.

Now this is set for the next morning so when I walk into my office, it's right there and I don't have to wonder what to do or where to start. IT IS TOUGH for me to put that list together at midnight or so the night before but I've made it my goal to do so and it has worked. It's a fluid list of course with adds throughout the day, but I make sure I can complete at least one of them so I finish the day with a sense of accomplishment. Oh, and what have I done with all those steno pads? Over 7 years' worth are filed away and I have gone back to them for contacts/#'s, data and inspiration. A wealth of knowledge and goldmine of work/personal history. Maybe even a book in there...

That's my contribution today - first one - OMG! Glad to be here and BE$T to you all!
