207 — Productivity hacks

Here at Emerald Works, we recently spent some time setting objectives for the remainder of the year. One of the areas Ross D wanted to work on was his productivity, so he turned to his colleagues on the Custom Learning team for advice. 

This week on the Good Practice Podcast, Ross G, Tracey and Gemma share some of the techniques they use to keep on top of projects and 'get things done'. We discuss: 

• The hallmarks of a good to-do list 
• The benefits of chunking tasks down, Italian style
• Useful online and offline productivity tools
• The difference between productivity and time management
