Boosting productivity, therefore, is a matter of making better decisions about which of the tasks you have at hand are critical and which are only wasting your precious time. It only takes two seconds of your time to evaluate whether something you’re working on adds value to you long-term goals or not. This is something that productivity, time management and decision-making expert Maxim Dsouza elaborates in his book, “The Magic of 2 Seconds.” Listen as he shares his personal take on productivity and time management with his kindred soul, Penny Zenker. Also, learn how something called “partial time blocking” helps Maxim take control of his time more flexibly. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Take Back Time community today:TugOfWarWithTime.comTug of War With Time FacebookTug of War With Time TwitterTug of War With Time Pinterest
