1           Share: Benjamin Franklin's Best Productivity Tricks.

1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness and drink not to elevation.
2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation. 
3. Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time. 
4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve. 
5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e. Waste nothing. 
6. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions. 
7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly. 
8. Justice: Wrong none, by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty. 
9. Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. 
10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation. 
11. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; Never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. 
12. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. 
13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates
