From the Manager-Tools.com podcast:

“Our inefficiency during the day hurts our family and makes us ineffective because we waist time during the day that had we used that time wisely we would have been much for effective focusing on doing the right things.”
- Mark Horstmann

This quote hit home with me.  When I have an inefficient day (and today has started out as one), it effects not only my clients, but it effects my family and the focus I want to have in my life.  Good stuff.

There’s a handy, free utility MyMileMarker.com that allows you to sign up your vehicle and keep track of mileage, gas and oil change stuff.

Free - as in not paying for it. I like those kinds of services. Plus you can use Twitter or a mobile device to do it! One of the reasons you’ll want to consider doing this (and I’m speaking to myself, too), is that it will allow you to track your own data, but also it can help you prove effectiveness of the vehicles efficiency when you sell it.
