New Ways To Meet All Of Your Daily Work Goals by Lisa Mulcahey Imagine looking down tonight at your to-do list — and seeing every single item has been checked off. It's not a dream — starting today, you can accomplish each daily work goal you set for yourself with accuracy and ease, all by employing some excellent research-tested tips. Try these simple and surprising tricks: Sit up straight as you work. A new study from San Francisco State University found that when people consciously adopted an upright sitting posture as they worked through a series of math problems, they finished their work with mostly correct results.
