Ten to One Experienced writers agree that for every minute spent in an interview, at least ten minutes should be spent in preparation. Interviews that follow (rather than precede) careful research are nearly always more productive. “The first time I interviewed President Kennedy, I was supposed to see him for ten minutes,” recalls William Manchester, author of The Death of a President. “The interview lasted three and a half hours. It was exciting and it led to further meetings.” What accounted for this Presidential generosity? Research. “I think it is very important for a person to do his homework,” explains Manchester. “There’s nothing more insulting than to ask a man, like a President of the United States, a question that he’s answered many times before. Then he’s quite likely to dismiss you. So what you want to ask are the questions he’s never been asked before, questions that show that you have a great familiarity with his life. And then he’s likely to respect you and be interested in the exchange, the colloquy.”

Make a plan that truly reflects your goals and interests, and you’ll be more likely to execute. Why pretend you’re going to work out every single day when you know you’re only going to do it three times a week? You make a choice and stand by it. Most people can’t do that. They’re content to “wing it” or “see what happens.” Come on, you already know what’s going to happen
