Recommendation

You can be busy without being productive. Your family, boss, clients, computer, cellphone and even your pets vie for your energy and attention. You’ve learned the hard way that most time management programs don’t help. Now, productivity expert Carson Tate offers a system that helps you put an end to inefficient busyness and enables you to develop work strategies that align with your personal “ Productivity Style.” Her 28-question test allows you to diagnose if you are a “Prioritizer, Planner, Arranger or Visualizer.” Learning your productivity type enables you to tailor tools to fit your “cognitive style” and to develop customized systems that boost your productivity. Following this program will help you make sure that you aren’t simply busy – but that you’re productive, as well. getAbstract recommends Tate’s personalized approach to planning, prioritizing and executing to anyone who doesn’t have enough hours in the day.

Take-Aways

  • Align your cognitive and behavioral tendencies with your “Productivity Style.”
  • The four productivity styles are “Prioritizer, Planner, Arranger and Visualizer.”
  • Understand when your attention is vulnerable to distraction and manage attention busters, including “technology, colleagues, meetings, emergencies and even boredom.”
