3 keys to maximizing productivity

What are your tips for maximizing productivity?

Los Angeles is notorious for traffic – I live less than 5 miles from our office, but the drive can take up to 45 minutes. I use this time to follow the news of the day, especially health and scientific developments, by listening to podcasts related to our business.
—Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex Corp

The keys to maximizing my productivity are knowing how I spend my time and planning my days before I start – what time I will wake up, eat, work, have meetings, exercise, pick up my kids, have lunch with my wife . Remember, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”
—Daniel Griggs, Founder and CEO of ATX Web Designs

Having a framework for prioritizing where my time is most valuable to the business gives me the right to say “no” to things that fall outside of those boundaries.
