Three Nurses
Three nurses went to heaven, and were awaiting their turn with St. Peter to plead their case to enter the pearly gates. The first nurse said, "I worked in an emergency room. We tried our best to help patients, even though occasionally we did lose one. I think I deserve to go to heaven." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven.
The second nurse says, "I worked in an operating room. It's a very high stress environment and we do our best. Sometimes the patients are too sick and we lose them, but overall we try very hard." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven.
The third nurse says, "I was a case manager for an HMO."
St. Peter looks at her file. He pulls out a calculator and starts punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse's file. After a few minutes St. Peter looks up, smiles, and says, "Congratulations! You've been admitted to heaven ... for five days!"

11 Tiny Habits That Reveal a Lot About Your Personality, According to Science
By: Shana LeBowitz, Business Insider
Image Credit: Getty Images
Even small behaviors can be a window into your overall approach to life.
There are so many actions throughout your day that go unremembered--pulling off a few sheets of toilet paper, sending a quick email to a colleague, picking up toiletries at the drugstore.
But these small, seemingly insignificant behaviors can provide meaningful insights into your emotions, your personality traits, and the way you approach life in general.
We dug up psychological research and expert opinion on what different daily habits might reveal about you.
Note that none of this information is definitive, and that these general findings might not apply to you specifically. Rather, they can provide starting points for learning more about your own and others' motivations.

5 Signs Your Daily Routine Is Killing Your Productivity
By: Kat Boogaard, Contributor, Inc.com
Image Credit: Getty Images
This story first appeared on The Muse, a Web destination with exciting job opportunities and expert career advice.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a total creature of habit. I love predictability and stability. They help me to feel focused, organized, and on top of things.
But, not too long ago, I made a major shift to my morning routine. Rather than writing my to-do list when I first sat down at my desk in the morning, I decided to use that time to tackle loose ends--those things that were previously taking up precious real estate on my to-do list, but could easily be taken care of with very little thought or time.
After I made that switch, I realized the system I was relying on to help me was really only a hindrance. It was slowing me down. Yet--for some reason--up to that point, I continued to push forward with that standard schedule I had grown accustomed to.
Yes, routines can undoubtedly be effective for increasing your productivity and approaching your day with some strategy. But, there comes a point when your desire to stick with the predictable manages to only get in your way. Here are five signs you've gone from routine to rigid.
