1. Adopt a “fixed volume” approach to productivity
We all need to make tough choices about what we can realistically get done, so that we can prioritize the activities that matter most, instead of reacting to a constant barrage of demands.

A related strategy is to set a pre-established time boundary for certain types of daily work and to make sure you stop when time’s up.
