Do you know that, too? You have a lot planned for the day, and hey presto! — before you know it, your colleague is calling for lunch. You look at the clock in disbelief. How can several hours have passed without you making any significant progress? Okay… there was a “short” meeting… a few phone calls… emails… and the intern had a problem with his concept.

But still, there must be a way to use the time more sensibly. But how? Let’s ask the expert, Ivy Lee, for his advice because his method promises a lot: More productivity, better results, and at the same time less stress with almost minimal effort.

Sounds tempting, after all, most of the tasks tend to be more rather than less. To-do lists take on absurd lengths and the overview was lost some time ago. Work is being done everywhere, only to realize with horror that nothing has really been accomplished, deadlines cannot be met and the quality of the work is also suffering. The Ivy Lee Productivity Method aims to solve this problem and help you to stop working or work longer and get the important things done.
