Business productivity hinges on 3 productivity powers: life, time & space. Like the links of a chain, they are good on their own but put them all together and you increase their strength.

Power # 1: Life
This power acts as the foundation for the other two. It’s about knowing what you want from your life.
- Create a life list of 100 things you want to achieve before you die
- Choose 1 thing from your list to focus on right now
- List the first 3 actions you need to take towards achieving this goal and move forward with action
Power # 2: Time
Supported by knowing what you want from your life, you can now focus on how best to spend your time. Based on your life list, what should you be saying ‘no’ to, and where would your time be better spent.
- In one place, keep a running to-do list of projects/tasks that require your action
- Prioritise your to-do list focusing on high priority, high value actions first
- Use your diary/calendar to schedule time for the priority tasks from your list
Power # 3: Space
Creating a physical environment driven by systems will help you maximise your time so that you can achieve what it is you desire in life.
- Put time aside to get organised, eliminate distractions and decide how you want your space to look/work once you are done
- Purge any items that you no longer need/use/love. Group like items together and give them a ‘home’
- Set up a daily/weekly/monthly/annual maintenance routine to help you stay on track
