Smart Business Tips

Research Shows This Is the
Secret to Productivity
Neuroscience is showing us there's a much better way, even though it goes against everything our work-devoted culture expects us to do. We tend to think that if we power through, sit at our desks until we're done--whatever that is--we'll do better work. I've fallen into this trap myself so many times. And what we end up doing is actually being less productive and less efficient. We get tired, it takes us longer to finish something, we can no longer think clearly, and we make mistakes.
