I would supplement #4 with take care of your tools. I don't think it is as applicable in the tech world but if you watch master carpenters/painters/etc you will see that they spend a little time at the beginning and end of everyday ensuring the upkeep of their tools.

I should've also added "a poor tradesman always blames his tools". Next time!

To a techie, his "tools" are probably his mind and body. Pays to take care of those to stay productive :)

  I think a tradesman would also think his mind and his body were his tools...

  Yes, except for the whole "I refuse to program in ... because it's a terrible language" philosophy.
