"GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE" ON PRODUCTIVITY!

I love this quote from  Dudley Lynch, President of Brain Technologies, a consulting outfit on accelerated self-growth, and author of 'Leap! How to Think Like a Dolphin & Do the Next Right, Smart Thing Come Hell or High Water', among others . He also happens to be one of my most favourite strategist authors:

"Give the team what it needs and trust their brains to figure it out."

It resonates with the fine quote from the late Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Company:

"You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best."

10 LAWS OF PRODUCTIVITY

According to the Behance Team, which operates the leading online platform for creative professionals, as well as the 99% Conference, a major annual symposium on execution in creative industries, here are 10 laws of productivity consistently observed among serial idea executors:

1. Break the seal of hesitation.

2. Start small.

3. Prototype, prototype, prototype.

4. Create simple objectives for projects, and revisit them regularly.

5. Work on your project a little bit each day.

6. Develop a routine.

7. Break big, long-term projects into smaller chunks or “phases.”

8. Prune away superfluous meetings (and their attendees).

9. Practice saying “No.”

10. Remember that rules – even productivity rules – are made to be broken.
