MY PRODUCTIVITY FACTORY

SECRETS OF USING TECHNOLOGY TO GET STUFF DONE WHEN YOU’RE INCREDIBLY LAZY, UNFOCUSED AND DISORGANIZED

Mike Gershbein

TWO IRONIES THAT GET THEIR OWN SLIDE

It takes discipline to use the technology that is supposed to

make us disciplined.

We want more and more technology to serve as a shield

from technology.

WHAT DO I WANT FROM MY PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE ME PRODUCTIVE?

should make it easier for us

to accomplish things without

our having to think too much

about what technology we need

to accomplish these things.
