What You SHOULD Have Done Last Time You Were in Line at the Grocery Store

A common reaction I get when I teach people my relationship system is, "My schedule's already busy! Now you want me to fit in all these pings and calls and meetings and dinners and...?" Here's my top tip for making these activities fit inside the schedule you already have - no add-ons!

Use your taxi time. We all have wasted time slots; the grocery store line is another. They're wasted because we're not prepared to use them. So carry around your contact lists; dedicate that "free time" to texting, email, calling, and tweeting.

Check out my other four time-management tips for relationship building on the blog - they'll help!

And tell me: How about you? What are your favorite time-management techniques? I'll be gathering comments to include them in an upcoming webinar, so make sure you include your full name and web site link, if you have one. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Warmest,

Keith

pies - yeah it would be good to know how much she charges for her pies but I do hope it's higher than the Grocery store ones. especially if they are all hand produced I would be willing to pay more for that.
Re: iPhone Apps: Biz Idea! - San Diego, California – Got an idea for a killer iPhone app? With more than 1 billion applications sold since its launch last July, Apple’s iPhone App Store has become one of the fastest-growing tech enterprises in recent history, and gained a reputation as something of a developer’s goldmine. Success stories such as that of Ethan Nicholas, whose iShoot app has earned him $900,000 in eight months, have only added to the App Store’s appeal for would-be iPhone entrepreneurs. “The runaway success of the App Store has created the legend of the iPhone millionaire,” says Ian Maskell, principal of iPhone App Freelancer, a company aiming to make it possible to get your idea into the App Store without technical knowledge and minimal financial outlay. “Everywhere we went people would say: ‘I’ve got a great idea for an app.’ We saw an opportunity to level the playing field and allow anyone the ability to become the next success story, regardless of their ability to program or write code.” So Maskell launched iPhone App Freelancer, a website offering the ability to turn great ideas into apps with little or no programming knowledge. Rob Shoesmith, a 27-year-old garbage collector from Coventry – England, submitted one of the first ideas to iPhone App Freelancer for development. Shoesmith says he has only had an iPhone for a few months, but has been following the growth of the App Store since its launch. He wants to keep the specifics of his app under wraps until its launch, but describes it as a user-generated advice service.
Re: What would you like to see be invented? - I've always been jealous of Mrs. Jetson every time she would push the buttons for what she wanted to have for supper and all the right things would come out the slot (hot or cold) like a vending machine. If I remember correctly, she even had several different courses. That's what I would like to see invented. I hate cooking unless I have a ton of time to kill. Grocery shopping it a pain too! That invention would eliminate having to grocery shop.
