www.maggiepatterson.com My biggest productivity tip is to stop trying to do
everything yourself. It doesn't matter if you're a manager, a solo business owner
or the CEO. Creating systems and processes that are well documented lets you
get lower value tasks off your plate so you can focus on where you're most
strategic and valuable. This was a huge shift in my business that has allowed for
major growth in a relatively short period of time. Now, I live and die by our
systems and project management tool, Basecamp. End result? Greater revenue,
more focus and way less time lost due to having my hands in too many pots.

www.mattpaulson.com Get anything that you want to remember out of your
brain. While the human brain is good at complex reasoning and problem solving,
it's not so good at remembering to-do lists, reminders and calendar items. Setup
a note taking application like Evernote on your phone and immediately take note
of any to-do list items that pop into your head. By storing your lists in an
external memory of sorts, your mind will be freed up to do more important tasks
and you'll rest assured knowing that you're not going to forget to buy milk.

www.francispedraza.com Organization. My friends consider me one of the most
organized people they know, but I consider organization one of my greatest
opportunities for growth. That's because -- like Socrates said of wisdom -- the
more organized you get, the more you can do, and the more you can do, the
more organized you need to get. It is a virtuous cycle. Elimination is one of the
key principles in organization. It is far easier to organize a few things than to
organize a lot of things. For example, I went from 2,500 Facebook friends to 150
Facebook friends, after doing the math: to get coffee with each of my 2,500
friends once a year, I would need to do 7 coffee meetings a day! So instead of
building an elaborate system to organize my relationships, I decided to organize
my friendships around investing in a far smaller set of incredibly high quality
people.
