There’s a lot of methods that I’ve integrated into my productivity style over the past several months. However, I recently read a book titled “The One Thing” that had one very important piece of advice (and several other very good points): What’s the One Thing I can do, such that by doing it, everything…
We all “know” that time management is important and something that we should be good at. We work at improving our own time management and try to help or push teams to increase their management of the time allotted for projects or tasks. However, there’s more benefits to being a good time manager than just…
Batching your tasks is a great way to stay focused and avoid that dreadful feeling of impending burnout from being pulled in too many directions at once. This happens when you start trying to go down a list and complete as much as possible without paying attention to which “area” each task belongs to….
I’ve been a big fan of having music in the background while working for several years.

Using recurring and repeating tasks in Todoist is a great way to save a lot of time and to stay on top of all of your tasks that occur regularly, or at least more than once. When setting up a task in Todoist, to make it recurring you fill out the task information as you…
Staying focused and on task is something that many people struggle with for most of their adult lives. Especially with the advent of mobile devices and the many distractions that are out there.
