Slacker Manager has a pretty good article about some tips to keep in mind as we all start this new year. Remember, the goal is to work smarter, not harder!

1. Find the best way. (not necessarily the fastest or easiest, though it often is)
2. Procrascipline. Disciplined procrastination is the art of knowing why you aren’t doing something and when you might.
3. Ensure balance. Even by guerrilla methods (see: 4 hour rule and mental health day)
4. Find your place, for now. This is imperative, difficult and achievable. And you’ll do it over and over.
5. Maximize the work you love, minimize the work you hate.
6. Listen well.
7. Develop (manage) relationships.
8. Market yourself.
9. Think laterally as well as linearly.
10. Master the data. Using simple tools: Excel, SQL, etc
11. Be curious.
12. Pursue other pursuits.
13. Develop your spiritual life.
14. Read broadly.
15. Have a system (of organization).
16. Know how to decide.

Anyone else got some good tips?
