I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  1. never lie.
  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

    If you don’t have time to do something right what makes you think you have time to do it twice?

    Respect other people’s time. When dealing with a busy person in a professional context;

    • Emails should be as short as possible while still conveying the needed information, don’t make a busy person excavate the relevant info from somewhere near the middle of the fifth paragraph.
    • Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.
