Show Notes
Busy is not the gauge of productivity. There are so many tradies and contractors who think that if they are doing more, it means that they are producing more. And while they have tons of to-do’s on their calendars, it still seems like nothing got accomplished at the end of the week, which then translates to time wasted. Achieving more with less is possible if we learn how to work smarter.
In this podcast episode, your hosts, Barry, Miranda, and Michael, discuss this interesting topic on productivity. They explain the importance of time and how it is the scarcest resource on this planet. They also share a tool that has transformed how they do work and how it helps you manage your time and activities to make you more productive without being busy.
