You may remember TV's Lieutenant Columbo, the dumb like a fox detective who solved one crime after another.

Do you remember his signature line, when he had one foot out the door, and the smooth and savvy suspect was gloating in his imminent victory over this bumbler?

That's right. Columbo would look back, gesture with his index finger and say, "Just one more thing…”

You knew he had something on his mind that was going to trip up the bad guy.

Well, I suggest you have one more thing up your sleeve for each working day, before you call it quits. Try to get just one more thing done.

This article, what you're reading right now, is my one more thing!

I've already written my quota for the day, but it's after dinner, and I want to accomplish something else. (It's up to you, to determine whether this offering is truly an accomplishment!)

I could have done a number of other things, like clean more receipts and errant scraps of paper off my two desks. Or, I could have penciled out my plan for tomorrow, or have read someone else's article.

But I chose to do this, and I must say, it's flowing fairly easily.

No matter what you choose to do, when you commit to achieving just one more task, you get in

return a great feeling of accomplishment.

You feel you're ahead of the game, on top of the world.

And just imagine doing 365 more things this year, and another 10 or 20,000 things over the course of a lifetime.

Not bad, for pushing yourself, just a little.

Believe me, this article didn't hurt at all!
