The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working

We all make the same mistake. We easily get caught up in too much information to process, too many devices to look at, too much work to carry out, too much of anything. We’re lulled into thinking that being “on and running” all the time is a cool thing. We hunker down, put in more hours, sacrifice sleep, and eventually lose sight of what happens around us.

The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working” productivity guru Tony Schwartz warns us from the pages of his book by the same title. Time is finite and, no matter how hard we try, working 25/8 is not an option. But by managing our energy reservoirs more effectively, we can regain the ability to dedicate our undivided attention to a single task at a time.

At Salesophy, we bought and read Tony’s book because at some point in time we felt we had to take better care of ourselves and of our key “assets” - our brains, our cognitive capacity, and our energy levels. There’s a lot of science behind Tony’s claims that led us to believe it’s time for a new way of doing things to start.
