Time management and productivity are not what you think – so says Robyn Pierce

It’s a country of every kind of natural beauty that has something for everything. It’s residents are friendly and welcoming to everyone. Robyn says that predominantly it’s a country of warm welcomes.

Robyn has developed great expertise in the area of time management and productivity and she has a very interesting place to begin. She believes that thinking in terms of “time management” is not the right way to approach the issue, but rather that “energy management” should be the focus. Learning to prioritize and do the things that increase and actually produce more energy for you are some of the key ways you can accomplish more of greater importance.

When it comes to time management there’s also the issue of learned behavior. Each of us has been trained in the way we do things simply by repeating the procedure or habit over and over. Getting into new, more effective productivity patterns is the same type of process. We have to relearn, to reprogram our brain and body to do the task in a new, more efficient way. Robyn’s got some great tips on how you can approach that issue that she shares in this conversation.

The conversation continues into topics of interruptions, self-discipline, “chunking,” napping, clutter, and how all those things either help or hamper time management and productivity. There are a wide variety of things and situations that can impact your efficiency and Robyn and David touch on quite a few of them and give powerful tips on how to get started refining your productivity and systems.
