Scrambled Quotes: Personally Productive

Here is the answer to the last shout:

The story goes that after Charles M. Schwab took over Bethlehem Steel in early twentieth century, he hired a consultant to help increase the efficiency of his staff.  The consultant observed the executives as they worked and then made a recommendation which apparently greatly doubled executive productivity.

The recommendation was:

Plan the evening before.

If the next day is planned the evening before, when one gets into office then they are ready to go. It may seem like common sense now but how many of us manage to even plan the next day, forget about implementing the plan.

Of course in those days communication technology was not as advanced as today so people actually got work done. Which brings me to the scrambled shout for today:

Stifr het pot stsk tnhe eht ennttei

This one is guaranteed to increase your personal productivity and also falls in the realm of common sense.
