http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/bregman/2009/07/an-18minute-plan-for-managing.html STEP 1 (5 Minutes) Set Plan for Day. Before turning on your computer, sit down with a blank piece of paper and decide what will make this day highly successful. What can you realistically accomplish that will further your goals and allow you to leave at the end of the day feeling like you've been productive and successful? Write those things down. Now, most importantly, take your calendar and schedule those things into time slots, placing the hardest and most important items at the beginning of the day. And by the beginning of the day I mean, if possible, before even checking your email. If your entire list does not fit into your calendar, reprioritize your list. There is tremendous power in deciding when and where you are going to do something. In their book The Power of Full Engagement, Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz describe a study in which a group of women agreed to do a breast self-exam during a

Fujitsu does not list MAC OS drivers for the Scansnap S510 on their English language website (maybe because they have a MAC version of the Scansnap S510, the Scansnap S510M). They do however list the MAC OS drivers for the Scansnap S510 on the Japanese language site, but as you may expect, the program is also in Japanese. The directions that follow are to get the Scansnap S510 working under MAC OS and in English language. 1. Download the Scansnap Manager software for the S510M (ScanSnap_V22L11.dmg, which you can find here http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/computing/peripheral/scanners/drivers/mac.html) and install 2. Use Finder to locate the Scansnap Manager.app file -> right click or apple click it and select "Show Package Contents" -> double click to open the Contents folder -> double click to open the Resources folder 3. Copy the English.lproj folder to the desktop 4. Open the Applications folder and drag the Scansnap folder to the trash, then empty the trash

The developers will code each screen according to the following legend: Search screen 2 to 3 hours design, 4 to 6 hours development Simple screen 2 to 4 hours design, 4 to 8 hours development Reports 3 to 4 hours design, 6 to 8 hours development Standard screen 4 to 8 hours design, 8 to 16 hours development Complex screen 8 to 16 hours design, 16 to 24 hours development The developers need the screens prioritized by the client. No doubt there are a large number of essential screens and reports. However there are likely some screens and reports that are not mission critical and their absence would not hinder the operation of the system. Specifically if the client needs to categorize the screens according to phase. Phase 1 - essential, mission critical, impossible to operate without, no work around Phase 2 - there are work arounds for their absence, major inconvenience without them but not impossible Phase 3 - minor inconvenience, nice to have

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better In The Rise of Worse is Better, Gabriel claims "better" software is that which has the following characteristics: Simplicity the design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the implementation to be simpler than the interface. Simplicity is the most important consideration in a design. Correctness the design must be correct in all observable aspects. It is slightly better to be simple than correct. Consistency the design must not be overly inconsistent. Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity in some cases, but it is better to drop those parts of the design that deal with less common circumstances than to introduce either implementational complexity or inconsistency. Completeness the design must cover as many important situations as is practical. All reasonably expected cases should be covered. Completeness can be sacrificed in favor of any other quality. In fact, comple
