Consequence Quote by Geri Larkin
“Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time. It can be the first hour of your day. Or the last hour. A lunch hour. You want time free from phone calls, visitors, mail, things to read.

One hour of uninterrupted time can double a person's productivity for the day.”
