William Stunk Jr, the Cornell English Professor wrote Elements of Style in 1918. Today the book is required reading for journalism students across the country, but its not just journalists that can learn from Stunk.

Do we need to fail in order to succeed? A very provocative question. Is it best to avoid failure? Not necessarily. There are two ways to avoid failure – Working so hard and doing such a good job that you succeed – Only taking on projects that are so far below your capabilities that failure is never a realistic possibility. If you really want to succeed you must take on things that have a high chance of failing. If you only attempt things that you know you can do, then you aren’t challenging yourself . Never having any failures, it is a pretty good indicator that you aren’t…
It may be the height of summer but pretty soon those lazy august days are going to turn into autumn. Now is the time to getting organized.

We love this do it yourself calendar from Martha Stewart. There’s something so classic and modern about a chalkboard calendar and making it…
Jott Assistant is one of In Order To Succeed’s founder and president, Denise Caron Quinn’s, favorite tools, although sometimes we wish it wasn’t so easy for her to send us a to do list. With Jott Assistant Denise simply speed dials the jott number on her phone and then she can record quick messages for herself, create and manage her and our to do lists, and create remainders all handsfree.

Denise even uses jott to schedule meetings straight to her outlook and goolge calendars, update her twitter status, listen to…

Schedule it to be sure that you make it happen. 3. Keep one calendar. Adopt a system that works for you and stick with it. Don’t look in more than one place to know where you’ll need to be. 4.
