5 points that I liked in his talk:
1. Prioritizing time, because you can’t ever get it back.
2. Don’t focus on doing things right, focus on doing the right things.
3. Your email inbox is not your “To-do list”.
4. All you have to do is ask, and wonderful things will happen.
5. Don’t give people how you want them to do it, tell them what you want them to do.
