#1 Don’t work harder, work deeper.
#2 When you are young, work to learn, not to earn.
#3 If you work really hard and are kind, amazing things will happen.
#4 Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
#5 Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
#6 Boost your productivity by taking action immediately after setting a target even without perfect plans. Adjust your course along the way.
#7 To be successful, the first thing to do is to fall in love with your work.
#8 Identify your peak hour of productivity. Schedule your most important task for this period. Work on unimportant tasks during non-peak hours.
#9 Be a more productive passenger by getting work done in the car.
#10 Practice saying “no”, it’s the only way to reduce distractions from the work at hand.
#11 Multi-tasking does not work; split your time into blocks and focus on one task or project per block.
#12 Remember that rules – even productivity rules – are made to be broken.
