How to accomplish more by doing less
Excellent read: Tony Schwartz on HBR Blog Network about focusing on the task at hand.
It’s not just the number of hours we sit at a desk in that determines the value we generate. It’s the energy we bring to the hours we work. Human beings are designed to pulse rhythmically between spending and renewing energy. That’s how we operate at our best. Maintaining a steady reservoir of energy — physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually — requires refueling it intermittently.
Focus, focus, focus…moving that concept to project management and scheduling it means multi-tasking does not give satisfactory outcomes.
