The 10 Tips you need to know to obtain more results in less time

Picture yourself in one of these moments when you feel you are giving the best you can and obtaining much better results than the average day. It is possible to consistently achieve that type of great performance, and in this series of Productivity Tips you will leverage the best hints that worked for me (as well as for other people) filtered from literally hundreds of sources.

These hints will allow you to consider how you use your full potential and empower you to obtain more results (and better fulfilment).

How much would that improve the quality of life for your company - and for you?

I endeavoured to keep each tip short for you to digest; trust me, it was a challenge, given that there would be one (or more) books to write for each of these.

I only have three Recommendations:

• Read the tips in sequence – even if you feel you already know some of them – as they will make more sense when they are put in the right order and context.
• Start applying them and actively look for occasions to put them in practice; this is key to improve your results.
• Avoid competing on performance, even worse comparing with others; the concept of “better” changes over time, and an absolute best is a myth - and it’s me, a maximiser, telling you this!
