Phil – Tales from the Geekside

Autor Tim Ferriss hat mit The 4-Hour Workweek ein sehr gutes Buch zum Thema Produktivität geschrieben. Auf dem Blog zum Buch beschreibt Mr. Ferriss neun Angewohnheiten, die man vermeiden sollte:

1. Do not answer unrecognized phone calls
2. Do not e-mail first thing in the morning or last thing at night
3. Do not agree to meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time
4. Do not let people ramble—forget “how’s it going?” and embrace “what’s up?”
5. Do not check e-mail constantly—”batch” and check at set times only
6. Do not over-communicate with low-profit, high-maintenance customers
7. Do not work more to fix overwhelm—prioritize
8. Do not carry a cellphone or Crackberry 24/7, seven days a week—make evenings and/or Saturdays digital leash-free
9. Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should

Die Liste mag trivial aussehen, sie ermöglicht jedoch erhebliche Zeiteinsparung…
