“Beware the barrenness of a busy life.” – SOCRATES
People may have reported feeling more productive during the Covid-19 “Work From Home” period, but at home or at work many of us allow email, meetings, and distractions to actually make them less productive. Here are three simple techniques we can teach our teams or re-learn ourselves to get more of the right things done. The links below explain best practices.

3 – Focus
Once you know what needs doing (and when), then it’s time to buckle down and produce. Use Pomodoro sprints to focus your energies. Read or watch more.
