Time

Today I heard (again) about an interesting question from Marshall Goldsmith. It is not a scientific study but based on him asking 10,000s of people around the world a question.  He is asking people what percentage of their communication is based on either telling others how smart, special or wonderful they are or how stupid, bad or inept some other people are.  Based on his feedback the average number is 65%.  That is a lot of time even if the number is only somewhat correct. If this is anywhere near your answer to this question, then you have a first hint on where you can save time.
