Remember the story of the CEO who successfully mobilized his factory to win the highest quality awards?
On his first day, this CEO was shocked by the dirt around the factory. He ordered his management team to set cleanliness as their top priority. But week after week – nothing really changed. So, one Monday, the CEO abruptly canceled all meetings. He put on cleaner’s clothes and went straight to the production area with a broom and started cleaning. Everyone was amused, surprised and finally a little embarrassed. Reluctantly, the COO followed suit and finally every worker joined the CEO.
From that day onwards, the CEO made this a Monday ritual and his factory eventually went on to win the highest quality awards.
This week, let’s remember the best way to get things done is to start doing them ourselves.
Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
Paul J. Meyer quotes
I haven’t read this ebook yet but I‘ve heard a lot of compliment about this Time Management ebook “pomodoro technique“. Just decided to download and take a look; at the mean time, share with you this good and FREE ebook on Time Management.
The book promises you’ll be amazed to see how your everyday work improves, and how you can avoid anxiety by using a few simple rules. And, you can learn the complete technique in just a few days—you’ll see immediate results. A little background information:
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method. For many of us time is an enemy. The anxiety triggered by “the ticking clock” and deadlines to be met leads to ineffective work and study habits and procrastination. The Pomodoro Technique transforms time into a valuable ally.
Francesco Cirillo created the Pomodoro Technique in 1992 after a long search to improve his own study habits. Starting in the late ’90s the technique was embraced by professional teams. It can help us accomplish what we want to do and chart continuous improvement in the way we do it.
Download it here. I’ll update the post once I read the book; if you find it good, share with other readers please.
