The Number One Obstacle to Productivity

Inefficiencies are one of the biggest obstacles that people face when they try to be productive. If you have three hours to do a task, it's always going to be better to spend the first 30 minutes looking at your approach and making those executive level decisions. And then doing the execution for an hour and a half, rather than spending the full three hours doing the task. The fourth and final obstacle to consider is just not being that interested in the work.
