Just the Worm, Ma'am


The early bird catches the worm. We've all heard it, but it's garbage. The early bird gets up early. That's it. Perhaps a more accurate statement may be, "The early bird, who leaves its nest and takes an active role in hunting, catches the worm."

Don't you just hate those people who brag incessantly that they get up at 5am each day?

Each week, the CEO of Xerox asks employees:
1. How many sales events did you attend this week? What did you learn?
2. How many customer service meetings did you attend this week? What did you learn?

Not, "What time did you get up today?" He's interested in "The Worm" NOT the time of day you caught it.

Learn YOUR prime time for productivity and then go get that worm. Trust me, they're there...I see robins in my yard from sunup til sunset. http://www.donnamariawalker.com/
