Louis Pasteur said "Chance favors the prepared mind" and this ties in directly with the theme of this week's episode. I can promise you that sometime over the next four weeks, someone is going to be late for an appointment, cancel a meeting, or otherwise keep you waiting.

When do you know if you were productive? In this podcast I talk about one of the "Fundamentals" to a more productive day. There are a lot of indicators someone could use to monitor their productivity. I challenge you to be the one who acknowledges other people for the awesomeness that they are…Oh, and that that do, too.
