Long Term Person, Short Term World: Sustainable Productivity in a World of Limited Time, Unlimited Tasks, and Endless Interruptions

Product Description

Society judges people not by their long term pursuit of highly-personal goals, but instead by their short term pursuit of goals more societally acceptable. When we act long term, we get strange looks and a million other signals from society telling us we’re living life all wrong. It comes as no surprise that we pursue the short term at the expense of the long term. But somewhere deep inside—I’m sure you’ve heard it—is a voice telling you to ignore the world. This book helps you turn that voice into action. This book shows you how to align your short term actions and long term goals. Who am I? I am a professor, but not of productivity or anything like that. I’m not a guru. I’m just a person—not too different from you—trying to get stuff done in a world that is unhelpful: incessant text messages; instant notifications; people expecting us to be on-demand 24/7… you know what I’m talking about. My productivity and time management system is: Simple to create and implement; Customizable to your goals; Flexible to your day-to-day life; and most importantly Sustainable for the long term. (Because that's the point, after all.) Buy the book or try a sample! Why not? You can also see me on Twitter and Medium (@mjmottajr) and at mjmottajr.com Read more
