It is what reveals the productivity specialist, columnist of theForbesand authorbest-seller, John Brandon, in the bookSeven minutes to boost your productivityResulting from ten years of research on the subject, this launch is a practical guide for those who want to structure their own routine and direct their attention to what truly matters, in order to achieve better results in less time.
Brandonpresents a practical method to optimize time management, maximize focus, and gradually increase productivity, based on daily schedules. Among these strategies, the author suggests starting the morning with a quick plan by noting the three most important tasks of the day; reserving fixed times to check emails; taking short breaks for rest every 90 minutes of intense work; and eliminating digital distractions, for example, silencing social media notifications during moments of concentration.

Many people spend the day just reacting to external demands. It is essential to take control of your own time and set clear goals. After all, effective productivity doesn't mean doing more tasks, but rather focusing on what truly brings results.
