- Finish at least as much as you start.
- Focus like a maniac on tasks that generate value. Busyness has nothing to do with productivity.
- Agressively reduce all coordination overhead (emails, meetings, etc)
- mym1990 5y agoNot sure I agree with business not having anything to do with productivity. The best businesses are able to get ahead by being able to produce more or better quality products through higher productivity, which keeps those businesses competitive with the rest of the market.
- alangibson 5y agoWhat I mean is you can be flat out busy every waking hour and not produce anything of value. Everyone on HN knows at least one coworker that is negatively productive. if you look at businesses instead of individuals, there are a great many businesses that are full of hustlers which end up with a value <= 0 (i.e. bankrupt).
