This is my Fight Song!

Like a small boat On the ocean Sending big waves Into motion Like how a single word Can make a heart open I might only have one match But I can make an explosion This is my fight song (Hey!) Take back my life song (Hey!) Prove I'm alright song (Hey!) My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong) I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me No I've still got a lot of fight left in me

All the past we leave behind, We debouch upon a newer mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O pioneers! We detachments steady throwing, Down the edges, through the passes, up the mountains steep, Conquering, holding, dari...

Fixed Schedule Productivity

Just read this article  Here are a few good points I liked: Choose a Fixed schedule for everything  (e.g. Work 9 - 6.30, Family / Fun / etc: 6.30 to 11.30, Sleep 11.30 - 7.30) Serialize your projects. Keep n project queues (optimally n is between 2 and 3) and start working on the top project for every queue. Learn to refuse: I know it's tough, but it only helps.. Batch and habitatize:  Start early.
