Jeff Russell's Favorite Time Management Techniques:

  • Focus on key result areas. I quickly evaluate all my tasks at the beginning of the day and ensure that I’m working on what’s most important.
  • Apply the 80/20 rule to everything and focus on the top 20%. The facts are 80% of your efforts don’t get many results, I’m always looking for that 20% that is going to make the most impact in my day.
