So Why Do You Do What You Do?
In today's society we often put a lot of emphasis on HOW things are done. Present a plan with lofty goals to the board of directors of any company and surely they will ask you how you suppose those goals will be met. Apply for a mortgage and you will be asked to demonstrate how you plan to pay it off. Give a professor the correct answer to a complex question and chances are you'll be asked how you arrived at your conclusion. The HOW is often so predominant that the WHY is sometimes completely forgotten, as if the WHY is of less importance. Nothing could be further from the truth. WHY you want something is infinitely more important than HOW you think you're going to achieve it.

Time Management Does Not Work, Manage Yourself Instead.
When you feel like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done it is time to take a reality check. Let us face it, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. It is how we choose to use that time that is causing pause. Pause to think about how to manage ourselves better. When we do not manage ourselves properly we feel stressed out and out of control, dashing madly from one activity to the other. It is at this time in our lives when we make unnecessary mistakes that can be costly.

How to Void a Check
It's a good idea to be cautious with your checks at all times, this includes voided checks. Maybe writing "void" on the front and back 25 times, shredding, then burning the confetti you just made and burying the ashes in the outback with only a small hand written map to find your way home isn't the most optimum way to go about disposing of them though. Voiding a check is necessary from time to time. By definition voiding a check is not the same as a "stop payment" on a check. Voided checks are often used when setting up a direct deposit for an employee or as proof of a bank account. Still properly knowing how to voice a check is important in business as getting it wrong will mean basically handing a blank check over someone else.

Achievers can fall into the trap of check-mark thinking. They view corporate change as a to-do list.

The busy executive then moves on the other things because he or she thought they had "done" everything on the list. Then they begin to see things start to unravel and quickly blame others for not executing properly.
