Invest time to save time
For example, perhaps you can complete a particular task in 30 minutes, and it would take three hours to implement a more efficient method. If that 30-minute task must be completed daily, and a three-hour fix would cut it down to 10 minutes or less each time, it’s a fix well worth investing in.
The more reoccurring tasks you automate and delegate today, the more productive you can be going forward with less effort.

MORE IDEAS ON THIS
Don't just wait around
You must challenge yourself to take action sooner rather than later.
Planning and strategizing are important parts of the beginning of a new project, but be careful not to lose yourself indefinitely in these steps.

Start small
We tend to think really big and while this isn’t inherently bad, the downside is that it often makes the barrier for taking action quite high.
The risk translates into seeing our projects more complicated than they actually are and thus postponing taking actions.

Celebrate small wins
They ultimately ad up to big success.
It’s crucial to pause periodically to acknowledge what’s been accomplished – even if there’s a long way yet to go. The easiest way to do this is to set yourself smaller milestones worth celebrating.

Don't mind being wrong
To be productive in the long term, you have to not mind being wrong in the short term.
You have to take a stand, test your theories, and then admit it if you realize that your theory was wrong.

Concentrate on the positive
Our brains are naturally hardwired to perform at their best not when they are thinking negative thoughts or even neutral ones, but when they are thinking positive.

Focus on your core objectives
When you generate lots of new ideas as you’re making progress, you tend to gradually expand your project’s objectives.
The risk: it will make it nearly impossible to ever truly complete anything. Always keep in mind your core objectives when deciding what to work on.

Don't play the blame game
Blame is nothing but an easy way out of taking responsibility for your own outcomes. It’s a lot easier to point a finger at someone or something else instead of looking within yourself.
Blame is not constructive; it does not help you or anyone else.

Monetary Value of Time
We all have some idea of how much our time is worth. On extreme ends, it is easy to know if a task is worth your time. For instance, if someone offers you $0.07 per hour and another $7,000 per hour, you would have no problem to decide.
However, in the middle of the time-value spec...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
