A few years ago, I learned a trick that helped me immeasurably and didn't cost me a dime. It's called the MIT. MIT. It doesn't stand for that prestigious school up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. No, it stands for most important task. MIT. Most important task. So every day when I put together my list of things to do for that day, at the very top I put my MIT. What's my most important task? I figure that out. I memorialize it on paper and I do that. That task first. So give this a try, folks. You don't have to get into MIT to be able to use your MIT.
