The life of a busy university student: rewarding, challenging, yet nevertheless exhausting.

Fortunately, driving down this busy path in addition to attending every COMM101 lecture has given me additional insight on what productivity really is.

Stephen Covey’s productivity method

The above chart was featured in one of the required pre-readings several weeks ago. Looking back at it now, Stephen Covey’s productivity method definitely makes many tasks, from planning a schedule to manipulating a business plan,  far more clear-cut; divvying up work and sorting them by importance and urgency is certainly helpful.

I was reminded of this chart while I was browsing the net. I came across this article on Forbes, Nine Ways To Jump-Start Your Life.

Mr. Boss provides a great summary of nine key ideas everyone could practice to be better goal setters and lead more enriching lives. From finding a daily personal challenge, to practicing the art of speech, to maintaining an exercise routine (something I should really work on…), this list combined with Covey’s handy chart act like salt and pepper.

They’re also great tools to uphold a future-forward, goal setting, and above all organized lifestyle; a necessity for any young chap aspiring to make it big in business.
