How to create value in less time

What three things would you like to have done today or this month? Are you working at the right time for the right projects? Are you working too long or too short of a time for certain tasks? These are some questions that help to keep you going. It is desirable, being able to accomplish personal and organisational objectives at all times. To this end, certain actions must be carried out to achieve success. This is also true for every form of activity whether corporate, social, family or religious. To help man achieve and accomplish tasks, a lot of suggestions and comments have been given, downloadable algorithms that help with time management have been written, videos that teach how to organize emails are available, articles and textbooks also written on interrelated subjects. It may seem as it were, there is no secret to living a more productive lifestyle as it is practically a discussion for everyday.

Yet there is high concern 
It is evident however, that in business and personal environments (like the family) the concern is still high on how to achieve good results. Colleagues continue to wish for a higher or complain about their output levels while parents are still stressed out trying to fulfil their role towards their families – given all the on hand information on productivity. Perhaps more than equating productivity to a given formula it should be considered mainly as an issue of personal behavior, an attitude to continuously improve oneself and the things in one’s environment.

A basis for good results
A proper assessment of some models designed to encourage output levels reveals that the key to increasing productivity lies in doing well what is important at that moment and to do well requires monthly, weekly and daily review of yearly goals. The advice is that the simplest of tools be applied in capturing information and procrastination should be avoided in decision making.
Leo Babuata suggests that getting things done should have its focus on doing in the here and now, instead of on planning and on the type of system. While planning is necessary, more focus should be on how to actually complete a task. Using simple tools to capture information, making quick decisions, setting 'most important tasks' for the week and/or day, doing one task at a time without distractions, having a place for everything, reviewing your system and goals weekly are some ways to get the productivity you desire.
