Automate, Delegate or Eliminate.
Automate, delegate, or eliminate. My favorite productivity trick is deciding something is actually not worth doing. Most of us try to get more done by working faster or longer. The better move is to do less of the wrong work. Before you add anything new to your week, run every recurring task through three questions. […]
