Are you looking to increase your productivity and efficiency? Maybe get back on track to do more or better manage your time? There are hundreds of articles posted daily and it can be overwhelming to read and/or implement different tools or platforms. You have to find the one that works best for you and use it.

We can read and test with all best intentions but unless we begin to create new habits, committing to a goal, the tool won’t take effect. It is up to you to dedicate your time and energy to learning which one you will apply.

I know I have personally tested a variety of To Do lists, task reminders and project management applications. Some have fallen by the wayside while others have become SOP. I have made these part of my daily routine, for both myself and my clients. Without proper time management and organization, time would be lost and there could be a sense of chaos or overwhelm.

There are many professed gurus suggesting their best methods and time tested tools, but whatever you choose, it must work for you.

1. You must want to be more industrious and systematized.
2. You must be ready for change.
3. You must utilize the application until it becomes second nature.

We search every day, every week for new articles and suggestions and here are few from this week.
