“It’s so easy to stay productive. I just consult my to-do list, start my day fresh at 6 a.m., and plow through until everything is crossed off.”
Said no busy manager – ever.
Truth is, no matter how dedicated we claim to be to “getting stuff done,” it’s a job in itself to develop ingrained habits that keep us productive.
Just like that project inbox we let grow taller and taller, deciding to be more productive and doing something about it doesn’t happen overnight.
The first step is admitting it’s time to be more productive. Whether you’ve just hired fresh faces, taken over a monster project or seen a big surge in business, you probably are facing a mountain of work that needs to get done before it all comes barreling toward you like an avalanche.
