I set out to interview CEO ’s and find the Top 10 Productivity Tools they use to manage their time. During the conversation I started to see a common thread. After I hung up the phone, I realized that the productivity commonalities weren’t tools at all – but rather principles! Clearly these principles didn’t apply just to the most successful CEO’s.
Learning new things is exciting, but it may not be the best way to increase your productivity. Why? Because it takes a lot of effort to learn something new. Your brain has to create all new files, folders and storage locations, and you have to train yourself how to recall the new information when needed. It expands your toolbox, which may be necessary and useful; however, if you haven't mastered how to use the tools already in the box, then does it really help you to throw in some more?
Do you work for a manager or a leader? These two titles are often viewed as interchangeable, but do they really mean the same thing?
