Know Yourself

Productivity is a personal thing. New software, apps, strategies, and philosophies for productivity are constantly being developed. Many of them are great; however, none of them works for everyone. The key to finding what works for you is to know yourself. What are your needs? What kind of work environment do you thrive in? How does your energy level fluctuate during the workday? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

As you search for new ways to improve productivity, keep yourself in mind. It sounds obvious, yet it’s easy to buy blindly into a productivity solution that looks compelling on paper. So think about how you would interface with the solution before you waste time trying to implement something that doesn’t align with your natural tendencies and abilities. For more information about how to “know yourself,” read the following article published this week on the Entrepreneur blog:
