    I agree to what has been stated regarding task accomplishment and getting our respective jobs done to keep moving forward . Also, when we can manage time effectively and efficiently and help our staff to do the same, we have the added benefit of increased pride and accomplishment and reduced stress and feelings of frustration.

    Time management and productivity are extremely important because they are what allows us to accomplish tasks, meeting outcomes and keep projects moving forward.

    The more productive we can become productive, the more we will be able to accomplish in the day.

    The more productive we can become productive as a team, the more we can accomplish together.

    I like Jason Womack's definition of productivity which is, "Doing what I said I was going to do, in the time that I promised myself."

    For me, being productive is maximizing my time and resources to the best of my ability to serve others.

    I'm 100 percent effective when I'm able give every ounce of effort that I can to serve and help others. When I'm forcused on outcomes that allow me to accomplish my goals and grow as a leader.

    For the times of day that I'm 100 percent productive, I'm productive very early in the morning before 9am, and late at night after 8pm.

    - Think
    - Read
    - Learn
    - Talk with mentors

    These are all items where I know I'm growing as a leader and a person so that I can better serve others.

    Every week I spend about 45min - 2hrs doing what Jason calls a, "Weekly Overview."

    This is a time where I take time to read over each of my outcomes, projects, tasks, files, and emails folders to see what I'm working on and how I'm doing on them.

    This is also an extremely important time for me every single week. It's where I don't actually "do" work, I simply "review" my work.

    I really want to learn more about how to manage and lead projects in a way that keeps them constantly moving forward in regards of my own time and tasks, and the time and tasks of the people I'm working with.

    I also want to make sure that I implement as much as I can to make myself more productive.

    I'm hoping to find a few ideas and techniques that I can share with others in my office and with my volunteers to help them manage their lives and work better.
