Quote: How to manage a client’s expectations
How to manage a client’s expectations:
It’s not about bending over backwards for the client. It’s about making the client think your bending over backwards when you’re not bending at all.

Quote: Work less, accomplish more
From Productivity501.com:
Personally, I am not interested in working more. I am very interested in accomplishing more. Trying to accomplish more just by working more is the brute force “assembly line” method. It doesn’t scale. Eventually, you will reach a point where you can’t do any more without having harmful side effects.

Thinking of that, I wonder what would happen if I just stopped writing on my blog? Hmm…
