Read this book, if you think you don't have enough hours in the day.
Demir Bentley and Carey Bentley, the productivity power couple, ask us to imagine pushing a wheelbarrow full of gravel. The more gravel we add in, the heavier the wheelbarrow becomes, and the more energy required to push it.
Notice the way we fill up the wheelbarrow. It all seems so easy. Fill the wheelbarrow first with the trivial tasks, the size of gravel. Then the last bit with heavy rock, which turns out to be the highest-ranking or priority task. By that time, the wheelbarrow can hardly fit the rock.
A good habit, in other words, is to triage our task list and fit in the most important one first. Get the rock in our wheelbarrow first. Once we have settled the rock, the gravel will find the way to go in (or out wherever appropriate).

Sounds good
I look forward to putting these suggestions into practice. There are many plans for being productive. I appreciated the fact that this book in incorporated, not just restated, ideas that I have had heard before.
