It is even more complicated when the truth is nuanced. You are infrequently only correct or wrong, but partially so. We need more of the "yes and" approach to thoughtful disagreement. The productivity gains are a huge opportunity.

Personal productivity doesn’t start with efficiency. It starts with curiosity. When we lead with curiosity, we deepen empathy, foster connection, and tap into a quiet resolve that turns our wishlists into task lists. That’s where mastery begins.

🌟 Happy #WorldProductivityDay! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the many ways we can be productive, both at work and in life. Remember, productivity is not just about getting things done, but also about finding balance and making time for rest. Let’s make the most of what we have!
