Fast Five: The Art of Personal Efficiency

Wilferd Peterson's "Art of Living" shares concepts for better living. Highlights from another chapter:

"Personal efficiency is creative self-management. It is not getting ahead of others, but getting ahead of yourself." 

"It is putting first things first, getting one thing done at a time and developing the art of intensive concentration."

"It is using Kipling's "six honest serving men" - What and Why and When and How and Who and Where."

"It is setting up personal incentives - promising yourself rewards for work completed."

"It is seeking the counsel of wise men in person and through their writings and using their wisdom and experience to help you live efficiently." 

Peterson simplified, "What do I need to do now? How can I do it better and whom can I call upon as a resource?"
