  2. Effective Habits THE MANAGER Six habits of highly ineffective people HARVEY SCHACHTER Special to Globe and Mail Update Posted on Monday, August 29, 2011 6:25AM EDT Swedish Blogger, Henrik Edberg

  3. Showing Up: attendance & lateness matter “80 per cent of success is just showing up.” (Woody Allen) “one of the biggest – and simplest – things you can do to ensure more success in life is to show up more” (Edberg) “10,000 hours” (Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers) “It takes 14 to 16 repetitions to master a skill” (Marzano)

  4. Focus on what is Important 80-20 Rule “80 % of your results flow from only 20 per cent of your tasks and activities” (Schachter) Prioritize tasks & start with the most important

  5. Small actionable steps To avoid procrastination “split up tasks into small actionable steps so they don’t seem so overwhelming” (Schachter) “if you’re wasting time you might as well not have shown up” (Schachter)

  6. Paralysis by Analysis Keep Perspective Avoid spending more time thinking than doing "You don't have to examine everything from every angle before you try it. And you can't wait for the perfect time to do something. That time never comes," (Edberg)

  7. Information Overload "It is strange how much you can get done when you aren't interrupted every fifth minute or have the opportunity to procrastinate by checking your inbox or Facebook," (Edberg) Quiet work space in a public area can be more productive than working in a bedroom.

  8. Showing Up: attendance & lateness matter Missing school Missing instructions about assignments Missing assignment deadlines Library staff are available to help students before and after school

  9. Focus on what is Important 80-20 Rule What does the assignment ask you to do? Ask questions to focus your research (avoid screen dump) Prioritize tasks & start with the most important

  10. Avoid the “night before syndrome” Small actionable steps Divide the work into chunks Set target dates

  11. Keep Perspective "Tyranny of information” Information keeps increasing but systems for organizing it remain limited or non existent. It’s all on the web, or is it… A significant portion of what is delivered over the Internet is not freely accessible. (cost/passwords)

  12. Information Overload The problem isn’t just finding information; it’s finding information that you know is reliable Students may be comfortable using computers but still need help: - identifying good search words (Nouns) - identifying reliable information sources - moving beyond the convenience of Wikipedia

  13. Parents Can Help The problem isn’t just finding information; it’s finding information that you know is reliable Who created this information? Are they an expert? (education/experience/reputation) Why was this information posted online? Who is the target audience for the information? Does the site include advertising? Is the information current?
