Working Smart... and other hallway conversations

In Scott Berkun’s “The Art of Project Management; How to Make Things Happen” he boldly headlines, “Priorities Make Things Happen.”  And he has a point, but it almost sounds magical, and we all know it isn’t.  In fact if you looked back over this week, which would be most true:  “Priorities make things happen… or Distractions take up much of my day and upstage priorities”?  I bet it’s often the latter, and I want to show you how to solve that; but first another question.
