We read a story about a woman who moved to a small town. After

being there a short time, she 36 to her neighbor about the poor service

she received at the local drugstore. She was hoping her new acquaintance

would repeat her 37 to the store’s owner.

The next time the 38 went to the drugstore, the druggist greeted

her with a big smile, told her how 39 he was to see her again, and said

he hoped she liked their town. He also offered himself 40 a resource

to the woman and her husband as they got 41 . Then he took care of her

order quickly and efficiently.

Later the woman reported the unbelievable 42 to her friend. “I

suppose you told him how poor I thought the 43 was?” she declared.

“Well, no,” the neighbor said. “ 44 —and I hope you don’t mind—I

told him you were 45 at the way he had built up this small town

drugstore, 46 that you thought it was one of the best-run drugstores

you’d ever seen.”

That woman’s neighbor understood that people 47 respect. In fact,

most people will do nearly anything for you if you treat them 48 . And

that means making it clear to them that their 49 are important, their preferences are respected, and their opinions are 50 . It means giving

them the benefit of the doubt. Or as poet-philosopher Ralph Waldo

Emerson put it, “Every man is 51 to be valued by his best moments.”

Where love focuses on giving to others, respect shows a 52 to

receive from them. If you have had the opportunity to work in many

environments, and you have 53 both types of people—those

who have and those who have not shown you respect—you 54 how

motivational respect can be. And you also know that you are more easily

influenced by people who 55 you well.

To combat the trap of putting a premium on being busy, Cal Newport, author of

Deep work; Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted world, recommends building a

habit of “deep work”—the ability to focus without distraction.

retreats

There are a number of approaches to mastering the art of deep work—be it

lengthy dedicated to a specific task; developing a daily ritual；or taking a

“journalistic” approach to seizing moments of deep work when you can throughout

the day. Whichever approach, the key is to determine your length of focus time and

stick to it.

Newport also recommends “deep scheduling” to combat constant interruptions

and get more done in less time. “At any given point, I should have deep work

scheduled for roughly the next month. Once on the calendar 1 protect this time like I

would a doctor’s appointment or important meeting”, he writes.

Another approach to getting more done in less time is to rethink how you

prioritize your day—in particular how we craft our to-do lists. Tim Harford, author of

Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives, points to a study in the early

1980s that divided undergraduates into two groups: some were advised to set out

monthly goals and study activities; others were told to plan activities and goals in

much more detail, day by day.

While the researchers assumed that the well-structured daily plans would be most

effective when it came to the execution of tasks, they were wrong: the detailed daily
