HOW TO HURRY.

READER, do you know how to hurry?

This is a hurrying age, and you ought to know how to keep up with it—if you think it worth while. Here are a few suggestions that may help you:—

1. Do nothing that you don't have to do. Cut out the non-essentials.

2. Don't hesitate. Begin at once. When you are through, stop, and begin on the next thing.

3. Don't be too particular what part of the job you begin with. Other things being equal, do what's under your hand first and the next nearest thing next.

4. Don't pause between jobs.

5. Don't go from one job to another until the first is done. "Do one thing at a time." It takes time to change your mind.

6. Do your thinking while you're acting. And think about the work in hand.

7. If you have assistants, use them. At first do only what they can't do, and afterward help them out.

8. Do nothing twice. This makes it necessary to do it right the first time.
