Book Preview:

#1 Our current technological state has made our productivity crisis worse, not better. We have gotten very good at getting things done, but at what cost. We are forced to choose between doing anything well and doing everything decently. We are being strangled on the vine by our own productivity. This book is about setting the record straight about how to do the most important thing we can do: spend time on what matters most so that we can get more done with less stress and more peace of mind. I am here to help you make a few small shifts that will dramatically increase your ability to get things done while helping you become more effective and efficient at it. I know some of you are thinking, But I am already doing that! or I'm exhausted! I get it. I've been there! Even though most of us have a general idea that we need to be more productive, we find ourselves in the same old rut day after day. The good news is that when we align our values with productivity, we have the power to create a new way of working that will serve us far better than a life spent doing busywork and feeling like we're barely getting by.

#2 This is not a book meant to be read cover to cover in one sitting. It's a reference guide, a resource that you can use to continue your work and grow your knowledge of productivity.
