Productivity, Efficiency - Getting Things Done!

Hi All,

There is a way for folks to become more productive and efficient at work. Its an important skill to master in these busy times and it might just make your work life less stressful. It make just also make your job easier. Wouldn't that be helpful?

So...follow this link to find an article entitled '6 Things Really Productive People Do'.  Simply put the 6 things are:
1. Picking Your Priorities
2. Becoming More Efficient
3. Integrating Your Activities
4. Actively Managing Time Wasters
5. Being an Active Learner
6. Lighten Up!

Readers of this blog know by now that I like to plug the libraries' resources.  This subject matter - productivity and efficiency and getting things done at work - is no different.  The library has a large and continually growing collection of management, job efficiency, and productivity related titles.  One of the most well known titles is 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the Character Ethic'.   Of which, we have a copy of this bestselling title.  Click on this link to find out whether or not the book is in the library or if someone has taken it out.

First written in 1989, the book is quite possibly one of the most well known self-help, personal growth, job/career productivity books ever written.  With chapters that deal with topics like:
1. Being Proactive
2. Focusing at the Beginning With the End in Mind
3. Practically Fulfilling habits 1 and 2.
4. Six Paradigms of Interaction
5. Effective Communication
6. Combing Habits 1-5 and Creating Synergy
7. Recognizing and Amplifying the Greatest Asset You Have: Yourself.  Renewing Your Physical, Emotional, Mental and Social Nature....

I suspect that if you were to read this book it will start you on a lifelong journey of self-exploration, personal growth and quite possibly a more successful life than if you hadn't read the book.

Enjoy the title!  I hope the entry helps you become more effective and efficient in life and in your job!

Regards,
