What are top 5 things that successful people do on consistent basis?

What are top 5 things that successful people do on consistent basis?

Time management - They manage their time effectively such that they always have time to do right things at right time and meet/connect with right people! They don't believe in Inbox Zero :)

Work-life balance  - They would work hard, play harder… will thrive to effectively balance their workload and family pri's!
 
Socialize - This is controversial as few people are introverts and great leads. However, personally have found that successful people can easily connect/talk with anyone and make friends...

External hobbies/Interest - Some like to reflect over time and meditate to seek inner growth  Helps them be balanced at work and in their personal life. Others, tend  to be a outdoor person with heavy focus on sports and other outdoor activities. Whatever method one applies, strongly believe doing something outside our day to day activities/routine helps boost your productivity.
 
Respect and value for an individual - Successful people have usually gone through different phases of life and they understand well the value of life and respect for an individual and their time.
 
Sure, there are more to add to this list...

Accenture and Siemens Form Joint Venture to Unlock Full Benefits of Smart Grids to Improve Energy efffecieny

Accenture and Siemens form Joint Venture to implement Smart Grids and improve energy efficiency

Accenture and Siemens have entered into an agreement to form a joint venture in the smart grid field that will work with utilities to improve energy efficiency, grid operations and reliability.
The new company, named Omnetric Group, will provide the energy industry with advanced solutions and services focused on data management and systems integration. These solutions will integrate operational technologies - such as distribution management and real-time grid operations - with IT systems supporting smart metering, energy consumption and work and asset management.
 
What is Smart meter? "Smart meter" - is an electrical meter that records consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less and communicates this information at least daily back to the utility companies for monitoring and billing purposes. Smart meters enable two-way communication between the meter and the central system.
 
Unlike traditional home energy monitors, smart meters can gather data remotely and can avoid theft or tampering. This advanced metering differs from traditional automatic meter reading and Accenture Microsoft can solution this around upcoming Microsoft SQL 2014 to help scale companies in their transformation of capturing and managing data from 5 million (per month user consumption) to 5 billion data inputs.
