I wrote this article, "Being Productive in Challenging Times," when we all thought the pandemic effects would be short-lived. Who would have thought the advice would still be relevant all this time later? With some thoughts from @profgalloway buff.ly/3wDd8k8

Those with a healthy work-life balance are constantly deciding where their energy is best placed. They are highly accountable and they've ditched the drama.
Your attention determines your experiences, and your experiences determine your life. Said another way, you must control your attention to control your life. buff.ly/2FWZtfl #attentionmanagement not #timemanagement #HBR #productivity
Heard it all when it comes to #timemanagement, but still struggling w/ #productivity? It's because #attentionmanagement is more relevant to the 21st century! Time Management Training Doesn't Work: buff.ly/3548HSL #HBR
