10Productivity Skills
Let's say you ask someone how they manage their money, and they laugh, shake their head, and reply: “I never know where exactly it's going. I don't know how best to spend it. And I never have enough.” This would be a bleak response. And yet, when it comes to managing time, these are precisely the types of answers we hear from people in our workshops. Not only do folks struggle to figure out how to use time (their most scarce and precious resource), but they've often totally given up on the idea that a strategic use of time is even possible.
The good news? By studying what great managers do differently, we've seen that getting out of time debt is possible and even enjoyable.
