The Secret to Peak Productivity: A Simple Guide to Reaching Your Personal Best (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780814433850)

Certified Professional Organizer (CPO(R)) and productivity expert Tamara Myles has developed a simple model--the Productivity Pyramid--that provides an actionable framework for anyone to achieve better results.

Increasing productivity is a nonnegotiable for any business that wants to survive, let alone thrive, in today's climate. The problem is, there is no simple, single, plug-and-play solution that will work for anyone. The industries are too varied, technology is updating too rapidly, and customers are too inconsistent.

Based on a sequence of steps leading to peak performance, the author's easily adaptable system consists of five levels:

• Physical Organization: from decluttering to filing-fool-proof strategies for handling incoming papers and ensuring information remains accessible
• Electronic Organization: from dealing with email to electronic file management options such as cloud computing
• Time Management: mastering the three P's-Plan, Prioritize, and Perform
• Activity-Goal Alignment: breaking objectives into specific, relevant, and measurable daily tasks
• Possibility: identifying new life and business goals that will help you reach your greatest potential

After a quick assessment to determine your strengths and weaknesses and to pinpoint where to focus most for immediate results, the framework will then provide a range of potential strategies, allowing you to discover your own individualized Secret to Peak Productivity!
