2020-08-091h 56ITCHY BRAINSEng - Productivity 101Here the concept of Parkinson's Law and Pareto's Law is introduced. In my belief, these productive laws expand beyond getting things done to understanding ones happiness. Coming clean I don't consider myself a productive person but introducing these terms can help people understand the basics of why certain things take longer than they should and why some days feel wasted. Being aware of problems is crucial to finding solutions.
