On being productive

To be productive requires that we connect the WHAT with the WHEN.

The WHAT is the stuff to which we want to give attention. It's a mixture probably of have-to-do's (pay the utility bill) and want-to-do's (visit Florence). Short-term and long-term. Work and home.

The WHEN is the committement: when's it going to happen?

There are 100's of systems out there for increasing your productivity, but in essence all you need is something which holds your WHATs and connects them to a WHEN.

If you want a bit of guidance with this I'll run through a simple principle tomorrow.

Remember: Productivity=What x When.
