In this episode, we are with Cat and Andy, helping us see more of the value of knowing and being able to focus on our main business. We have different roles between our work and personal lives, and some consultants have multiple clients. This is why it is essential for us to be able to stay efficient in these roles and get things done.

 

Tune in and get pro tips on productivity that will surely amp up your efficiency.

Quotes:

“People Will Talk About Priorities, And They'll Say We Got To Prioritize… But That Means Something Has To Be Less Important And You've Got To Put That On The Backburner. And I Don't Think We Should Feel Guilty About Those Things.”

“When You Have To Get This Much Stuff Done In A Period Of Time, You, Honestly, Almost Magically Find A Way To Do It.”

“One Of The Productivity Hacks, If You Will, Is To Find Focus Time.”
