Podcast #1,001: Systems and Tools for Stealing Back Hours of Productivity

Many businesses and individuals feel stretched and overwhelmed, and they don't complete all of the tasks they need to. They often turn to finding a new application to use or hiring additional employees to help spread out the workload.

My guest says that if you use the tools and team you already have in a more effective way, you can reclaim hours of productivity.

Nick Sonnenberg, founder and CEO at Leverage (a consulting firm that helps teams improve efficiency), is also the author of the book Come Up for Air: A Guide for Teams to Stop Drowning In Work. Nick Sonnenberg explains on today's show how people spend 60% of their work time thinking about work and why adding more staff can make things worse. He shares his "CPR Business Efficiency Framework" and how changing the way you communicate, plan and manage resources could save hours. We discuss how to manage your communication channels to avoid what Nick calls the "Scavenger Hunt," a tool that is underutilized for managing your inbox. We also talk about how you can stop wasting hours on meetings and make small changes to save time. We also discuss how you can use some of these strategies to save time in your own life.
