10 Productivity Secrets of the Most Successful People
blog.tsheets.com — I set out to interview CEO ’s and find the Top 10 Productivity Tools they use to manage their time. During the conversation I started to see a common thread. After I hung up the phone, I realized that the productivity commonalities weren’t tools at all – but rather principles! Clearly these principles didn’t apply just to the most successful CEO’s.

- jabberw0cky, on 07/11/2008, -0/+10My favorite from this list is number 8, Balance. I like the quote, "anyone can work 16 hour days, The secret to being productive is being able to get done what needs to be done in an eight to ten hour day, still get a workout in, have a successful marriage, relationship with your kids, and sustain life outside of work; otherwise, you’ll lose the “Why”.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, this one from Uncle Scrooge (the duck), 'Work Smarter, not Harder".- known, on 07/12/2008, -0/+1Leadership is your ability to accommodate adverse and diverse people!

- thirdcoastborn, on 07/11/2008, -0/+6Ever since my wife and I started taking the following advice, we've been doing real good.
10% of your income to charity (reap what you sow)
10% Savings
10% Investments
Then pay your mortgage or rent and the bills.- jotate, on 07/12/2008, -1/+1That has nothing to do with productivity. And you've been doing real well, not good.
And furthermore, that's a ***** equation. First you pay the rent and the bills. Then you divide remainder between things like charity, savings, and investment. If rent and bills are 80% of your income, then your system would leave you 10% of your income further in debt every month.

And that is why I'm going to continue to bus tables for the rest of my life. - lientoo, on 07/12/2008, -0/+4"The Gift of ‘understanding what people want to know’ even when it changes." Wish I have that gift.

- jotate, on 07/12/2008, -1/+1The problem with this article is the fact that it doesn't give you any real recommendations on how to go about increasing your productivity. It just dialogues how other successful people have pulled it off. And some of their explanations are things that you can't even hope to change. Genetics? I'm going to go back in time and tell my mom to hook up with a doctor, instead of my dad? If that's what it takes for increased productivity.
