Universal inefficiency
We know the value of time – because time is always in short supply. You want to do more, you have the capability to do more , but still, you cannot, because there is not enough time.
The only thing we can do is utilize whatever time we have efficiently. Sadly, there is a glaring deficiency here that most of us have not noticed yet. Let's start with the two most common places we visit every day: Inbox and Calendar.
What can you do with Inbox? Send an email or reply to an email – two of the most common actions. If you need some help or input from others, you will send an email to them. If others have some work they need you to do, they will send you an email.
Now, think carefully. How many emails do you send versus how many emails do you reply to? 20:80 or 30:70, whatever the proportion is, it is against you, am I right? Do you seem to be spending more time replying to others or helping others instead of helping yourself?
