In the U.S., people work an average of 45 hours per week and consider 16 of those hours to be unproductive. Businesses and industries have distinct goals and derive from and build off of different resources (donations, profits, contracts, staff size, infrastructure, etc.). However, there is one resource common to and equal among all industries, projects, managers, and employees: time.

‘Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort.’– Paul Meyer

Productivity can be treated as a buzzword, or it can be infused into everything your company does.
