There’s a common belief that the key to productivity is good time-management, but that’s not entirely true. Time passes regardless of our actions. We can’t slow it down or create more of it. Thus, “time” is not the problem. It’s the distraction and misplaced attention that is interfering with our ability to achieve the desired goals. Therefore, in order to achieve the results that are most significant to us we shouldn’t focus on time-management, but on how to best allocate and manage our attention.
