Jeff Bezos, 36-year-old founder of Amazon.com, shared the following 5 time management tips in the Wall Street Journal. Set aside Tuesdays and Thursdays as your own, without any regularly scheduled meetings. Break your routines. Visit Stores. Scrutinize your own Web site. Learn from unexpected places. Work fast, and fix small mistakes later. The only fatal error on the Web is being too slow. Use e-mail aggressively to learn what customers think. They won’t always be polite, but they will be candid. Make time for thank yous. That’s never the most urgent task, but in the long run, it can be very important. (WSJ 2/4/00)
