This is about doing what is most valuable: getting the greatest “return on time investment.” In a world where there are so many demands on our time, we need to make sure that we can identify and act on the key priorities. It’s about having the courage to say no to the countless distractions, temptations, and low-value activities that threaten to overwhelm us.
Surprisingly, this is a skill that few people have learned. It is rarely taught in formal education. It’s no wonder that more than 90 percent of workers report being unhappy, overwhelmed, and disengaged. There are scientifically proven ways of engaging people to thrive and flourish at work, making them feel like they are making the best use of their time.
