Not all tools need be electronic. The Eisenhower matrix is a tool that helps you think about how to discriminate between urgent and important tasks. Some tasks are urgent. Some are important. Some are both and some are neither. There is a well-documented tendency for people to tackle seemingly urgent tasks without consideration for whether or not they're actually important. Often they're not. On the other hand, tasks that are both urgent and important deserve your immediate attention.
Continuing on the theme of improving how you present your work, this month's recommended reading is The Art of Explanation by Lee LeFever. This is an easy read, but one with some important insights on how to more effectively explain your work. One of the more important aspects covered is at what level you should aim your presentations/explanations (hint: not at experts in your field).

Alzheimer's disease wreaks emotional havoc on patients, who are robbed of their memories, their dignity, and their lives. It’s financially devastating as well: care for Alzheimer's patients is predicted to top $1 trillion by about the time children born today are having children of their own.

Kelly Scott was a natural choice to serve as advisor to The Empty Chair Project at Pikeville High School.
From the time he was five years old, Scottie Day knew he was going to be a doctor.
"I don't remember what the drive was," said Day. "But I knew that's what I was going to do."
Day hails from Smilax, a small town in Eastern Kentucky which, according to Day, consists of "a post office and a grocery store." His father was a coal miner and his mother stayed home with Day and his brother.
