Inner Circle Book Club
Description:
While there was different perspectives regarding how the team experienced the book, there has been an overall consensus that email is a major time thief. Coupled with social media it can easily distract you from being productive. So, in this session the team explored different ways to manage email and social media platforms to maintain a high level of productivity throughout the working day. While this is vital, they also touched on another important aspect of working for yourself from home, namely switching off at a certain time and just maintaining a balanced life style.
