Our lives are increasingly frenetic and filled with constant distractions. The day goes by in a flash and we are sometimes left wondering what value did we actually produce today. We aren’t making enough time to “sharpen our tools” and expand our knowledge and grow our careers. Instead of proactively planning our work, we too often go for the “quick hit” and deal reactively with whatever task comes from the person shouting the loudest.

This presentation – by James Schwartz, Partner & Chief Technology Officer at Bursting Silver Inc. – discusses busy-ness, how we can reduce stress, minimize distractions, focus better, and work more proactively.
