The New Model for Productivity: Do Less

1373620442_20d00ed84b_m.jpgAn old compadre over at the web shop known mysteriously as Silverthreaded, pointed me to this post, "Productivity 2.0: How the New Rules of Work Are Changing the Game," on an interesting blog called, "Zen Habits."

The gist is this: It's all about freedom, leveraging technology, and, oddly enough, getting less done while being more focused on and engaged in what you do do.

I'm sure it will make you rethink some of your own work habits. The one rule that got me: Don't multi-task -- multi-project and single-task. In this day and age, it's not about multi-tasking; it's about working on multiple projects simultaneously, but focusing on one task at a time.
