Following are some tactical procedures that this Cardinal uses now:
* Stand, do not sit;
* Drink a ton of warm water;
* Know clean, well-lited places that are quiet and isolated from the maddening crowd for focus purposes;
(if you can't hear your thoughts and feel your qi flowing through your body, you are not in
your basic zone );
* Spend less time on-line; [heh! heh! heh!]
* Never watch reruns of bad movies and TV shows without a purpose.
In terms of informational alert,
* have your news alert send to your backup email addr;
* read your news first (favorite sources are NYT, Wired, MercuryNews, Google News;
* listen to it on the radio;
* watching it on the TV should be the last alternative;
The flow of "general information" has a tendency to be seasonal.
Most general information tends to be worthless for those who are not consciously aware.

Here is my nine general "micro to macro" approach toward being an "all around efficient":
* Learn how to think and how to learn;
* Learn how to learn how to be consciously aware;
(In the Chinese martial arts, it is referred to "feeling internally and to one's surroundings.)
* Learn how and when to de-emotionalize yourself;
* Learn how to look at things from a top view and so forth;
* Learn how to look at things in terms of sets and connections.
* Learn how to visualize ideas;
* Learn how to transform information and ideas into a efficient
gameplan through the art of diagramming it;
* Learn how to communicate efficiently, when to communicate and what to communicate; and
* Learn how to lead from the front and manage from the rear;
There's more than that. This is the starter list.
When you can master all the items listed above, you're going to be efficient in your field of focus.
It took me many yrs to learn and understand what skills are needed, the internal steps
behind each skills, and how it connects into one macro set.
This summarization comes from my awareness through my research and consistent practice
(& experimentation).
