$25,000 Secret from Earl Nightingale:
Put your top 6 goals on paper and number them 1-6 by importance to you or your work. Place the list in your pocket and look at it tomorrow. Work on item one. Then the next. Complete the list and start a new one. Try it for one week.

Ok. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
