Is the activity equals productivity?

And on the other hand, when we see a person who does not suffer from stress, which is quiet and happy think it is loose, that is not interested in working or is not compromised.

1.- Understand that what we really seek is productivity and not the activity is basic because it will allow us to assimilate the following concepts that we will not only allow us to reach our goals faster if you do not learn to enjoy the process and to get rid of unnecessary stress.

The next time you send an email remember to be specific on the purpose of it and remember to give specific indications about what the other person should do in each situation.

Do not let the conversation open to keep answering the mail, thanks in advance and Anticipate what the other person might need and give it to not have to ask you then.

6. Designate specific times during the day for repetitive tasks.
