NOREEN’S TOP PRODUCTIVITY TIPS
“Productivity isn’t necessarily about doing more but about doing more of the right things at the right time in the right way.”

She likens the electronic email inbox to the old-fashioned paper inboxes, where physical mail required immediate sorting and action. By treating emails in the same manner—deciding quickly whether to respond, delegate, file, or discard—she argues that individuals can drastically reduce the clutter and inefficiency that typically bogs down their workflow.
