I know every social media manager and assistant are struggling with time management given the various social media mediums they’re maintaining everyday. To add that, they need to be updated with the current trends that are happening on digital sphere through reading blogs and formulate strategies aligning those updates.
Eventually you lose focus on what’s important, but that doesn’t mean you have to let your dwindling attention rob you of the time that you could spend making your work successful.
Work smarter and not harder. You have to live these words.
Thankfully we have these productivity gurus to help us manage our time efficiently and boost our productivity.
1. Timothy Ferriss Follow @tferriss
Tim Ferriss is author of bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek, a self-improvement program of four steps: defining aspirations, managing time, creating automatic income and escaping the trappings of the 9-to-5 life.
Tim Ferris brings an analytical, yet accessible, approach to the challenges of self-improvement and career advancement through what he calls “lifestyle design.” His 2007 book, The 4-Hour Workweek, and his lectures on productivity are stuffed with moving, encouraging anecdotes — often from his own life — that show how simple decisions, made despite fears or hesitation, can make for a drastically more meaningful day-to-day experience at work, or in life.
Word-of-blog chatter in Silicon Valley may have propelled his book to bestselling success, but Ferriss himself takes a fervid stance against the distractions of technologies like email and PDAs, which promote unnecessary multitasking.
Following the success of his book, Ferriss has become a full-time angel investor. (Source)
