Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The question on everyone's mind is, "What's in it for me?" Unless you can answer that, don't even try to make a sales pitch or a request. When you have a truly helpful answer to the question, you'll win.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The phone rings, the e-mail icon bounces, there's a steady stream of distraction. Do at least three quantifiable tasks and you'll avoid getting to the end of the day wondering what you accomplished.
