What is the Best Productivity System for Unleashing Your Full Potential?
I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for me!
In 2006, I worked on-site at a brewery, breathing in the sweet smell of hops each morning as I pulled into the staff car park.
In fact, every employee got a slab of beer per week as part of their pay packet. It might explain why I got invited to so many parties. Weird how those invites tailed off when I went to work at a vitamin company!
Behind the scenes, this beer company had big ambitions and grew fast over those years.
How many of us get stuff done (and it’s not ideal)
As a finance manager (looking after beer, wine and spirits — woo hoo!), I was involved in many of this beer company’s projects. I’d get to my desk every morning and review my email inbox as a guide to what to work on that day.
In fact, my email inbox was my to-do list.
My system was that only ‘active’ emails were allowed in my inbox.
I tackled the work by responding to those who showed up most persistently and noisily in there. I shake my head at my younger self, I really do🤣.
