Yesterday, on the flight home to KC from Rochester, while sitting in an aisle seat, I finished *Manage your Day-to-Day*. The last section of the book was fantastic with some great advice and input.

With some encouragement and advice regarding prioritizing important work over urgent work, how to handle email and other distractions, and why it’s important to do the hard creative work first thing in the morning.
