Productivity Fact:
You can be busy all day and still have gotten nothing done.
Today, it is more important than ever to make sure that the things we choose to spend our time on are the right things.
We know that the 80/20 rule applies in most life situations. So, let’s look at how that applies to your time. Consider this, if you have a to-do list with twenty items on it, then four of those tasks will be worth more than the other sixteen combined.
As Brian Tracy explains, “This means that each of those tasks will be worth at least 5 times more, or will give you a 500 percent return on time invested over doing any of the other tasks on your list, which are of low or no value.”
It is more important than ever to make sure that the things we choose to spend our time on are the right things. It is important to decide “what” is to be done first. Only after that decision is made should we figure out the “how” and “when”.
In today’s fast paced, information rich, do it now, society setting priorities becomes even more important. According to Basex’s latest research, Information Overload costs the U.S. economy a minimum of $900 billion per year in lowered employee productivity and reduced innovation.
