Recommendation

During Ari Schultz’s five short years in this world, he spent 430 days in the hospital and underwent countless surgeries, including an unsuccessful heart transplant. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, his parents, Erica and Mike Schultz, had to keep their business going and care for two younger children. They became time management gurus through necessity. The Schultzes developed a nine-step productivity system by studying extremely productive individuals. Their system can help you achieve your goals and find your purpose, despite life’s slings and arrows.

Take-Aways

  • Loss taught a young couple that time is a scarce commodity; that lesson led them to develop their “Productivity Code.”
  • Classify your time into four categories: “treasured” time engaging in activities you love, “investment” time working toward your goals, “mandatory” time doing chores, and “empty” time doing nothing of value.
  • The Productivity Code is a nine-step time management system that considers your purpose as well as your tasks and tactics.
