Your standards in a frame on the desk. Hard to break a rule you can read.
The problem it solves
Principles kept in your head bend under pressure. The ones written and visible bend much less.
What it is
A clear acrylic stand that holds a letter-size sheet upright on a desk, meant for signs but perfect for a one-page list of your personal rules or weekly priorities.
Who it is for
Anyone who has written values or rules and promptly forgotten them.
How to use it so it sticks
Write five rules you want to live by at work, print them large, put them in the stand facing you. Rewrite the sheet each quarter.
Who should skip it
If your desk is public and you would feel self-conscious, keep it in a drawer you open daily instead.
Verdict
An almost free tool for the hardest job there is: being who you said you would be.
