How to Scale Yourself and Get More Done Than You Thought Possible

&gt; So what should I do to multiply these keystrokes given that there is a finite number of those keystrokes left in my hands? I write a blog post and I mail him the link. Then after I&#x27;m dead, my keystrokes multiple—every time I get a page view that&#x27;s 5,000 keystrokes that I did not have to type.<p>I don&#x27;t see how I can apply this to my daily life.<p>I&#x27;ve managed to whittle down most email to a few short sentences, but I can think of plenty of examples where I&#x27;ve written up intricate math notes and made them into blog posts that never got any page views because they were so hyper-specific.

Back in 1995 I went on a Boy Scout camping trip with a couple of scout leaders who were absolutely addicted to Steven R. Covey and who knows how many other self-help books. One of the leaders was a surgeon; the other, a business leader.<p>As we listened to them giggling and comparing Covey notes in their tent late into the night, we started to make up our own special set of jokes about synergizing and win-win situations.<p>Today, I think there really is something to all that Covey stuff. But I try to remember that not everyone around me really gives a care, and they still seem to get things done just fine.

If somebody shows me that 2x2 grid of important and urgent, important but not urgent, not important and urgent and not important but not urgent...I&#x27;m going to scream.<p>Seriously folks, it take more than a few analogies, funny images, memorable anecdotes and catchy business phrases to change fundamentally how I work and how my job&#x2F;career effects my life.
