Recommendation

How do you stay productive? Learn from Sam Altman. The  Y Combinator president has the same 24 hours as anyone else to get things done, and he manages to tackle what matters to him and delegate the rest. His productivity philosophy boils down to a simple idea: Choose the right tasks to complete. Then, work hard. Insights from a high-profile entrepreneur and his actionable suggestions make this post a worthy read. getAbstract recommends Altman’s perspective to managers who need a refresher course in time management.

Take-Aways

  • Much like compound interest makes a small investment grow over time, slight productivity improvements spread over a career can set you apart from your colleagues. 
  • Think carefully about what you’re working on, because productivity without purpose is futile.
  • Write lists of short and long-term goals.
