Seinfeld’s Secret – Here’s an interesting success sorry based on following Jerry Seinfeld’s productivity secret. “The concept is simple: spend some amount of time doing a desired activity every day and, when you do, cross off that day on a calendar.

It seems almost too simple to work, but it’s allowed me to accomplish so much more than I ever thought possible.”
