Easy \u2014 you\u2019ve got time on Friday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sonnenberg says that not only does the Arrow method boost your weekly productivity, but it also gives your schedule some flexibility toward the end of the week, and gives you the psychological satisfaction and peace of mind of crossing items off your to-do list as you go.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27TH<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n JALEEL WHITE!<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a042<\/strong>.\u00a0 URKEL!<\/p>\n Bill Nye “The Science Guy”<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a063<\/strong><\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every team that made the playoffs gets a cut based on how far they go.<\/p>\n The World Series runner-up\u00a0L.A.
