How to Craft your Personal Productivity Blueprint

In a world where the digital business revolution allows us to profit from more or less anywhere, productivity is no longer just about managing our time but in doing so even more to orchestrate our energy and resources as effectively as possible. There are plenty of tools and platforms for us to use, so what you really need to learn is not how to add more noise, but it is learning the art of taking advantage of those opportunities.
