10 best time management tips


Here are some short and useful tips on time management. I have to say that I learnt some these quick tips from Bodo Shefer and John von Eiken. Now I would like to share the knowledge to you. Ok, so:

1) "a two-minute rule" This rule says that if you have to do something and it can be done within 2 minutes - do it immediately, because you'll waste more time if you have to go back to it later.

2) "a seventy-two hour rule" This rule says that if you have to do something soon and if you don't do it in 72 hours the chances that you ever do it at all are very small. So if if you have to do something try to do it in 72 hours.

3) If you have an appointment at some place with somebody, call him/her in advance before going there and ask if he/she will come for sure. If you don't do it then there is a risk that the person won't come but you will and you will waste some time.

4) All meetings shall last no longer than 1 hour. It's enough to discuss a problem. (After 60 minutes or so people start loosing attention to the topic and become less concentrated)

5) Always have a plan of the meeting. Keep to the points of the plan.

6) Find out the most time consuming activities in your life. Maybe it's TV or Internet.

7) Don't go to a meeting - if you don't have to.

8) Find out your most important goals in your life. Set some minor steps to these goals. Concentrate on these small steps.

9) Use your car audio system to listen to some educational audio programs.

10) Use S.M.A.R.T. goals for every goal in your life (http://www.topachievement.com/smart.html for example).

10 best tips of playing a World of Warcraft Rogue

a World of Warcraft rogue
Beeing a rogue in WOW is an amazing thing. I'm not a super crazy rogue who dominates battlegrounds but I have been a rogue for 3 years and I know what I'm talking about.

I have always loved to hide in shadows and track my prey in Stranglethorn Valley.
Once I started a hunter toon but I always missed the ability to move while being invisible.

OK here are some simple tips which I would give to people who start playing a rogue:

1) Learn how to use your abilities and master your timing.
2) Learn how to crowd control 2 or 3 enemies at once.
3) Get maximum from the addons.
4) Learn how to keep your opponent stunned non-stop when fighting.
5) When somebody is chasing you use Vanish or Stealth, then strafe 90 degrees left or right and watch your enemy passing by.
6) Use emotes while in Stealth mode to make your enemy nervous.
7) Make an auto Pickpocket macro - it will give you an extra dollar.
8) Always have a good stock of Vanish ingridient (60 or some) when leveling in a distant place. Share it with a fellow rogue if you meet him/her far from a city.
9) Learn how to assist MT in raids producing high DPS and holding your threat meter.
