A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As we begin a fresh year, it is a good idea to not just evaluate ourselves based on the previous year on how we have been managing our lives, but also to find out ways to become more productive as we move along. In this issue, I'd like to share with you some powerful ideas on productivity and how we can make the best of our resources, time, energy and capabilities. Let's do this!

Why "Done is Better Than Perfect" by Sheryl Sandberg

The CEO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, has one of the best success quotes to live by: Done is Better Than Perfect. The innovative products that we know are constantly evolving; and we're not likely to ever reach perfection as no one has. Instead, getting things done is more important than being perfect, and this applies to various areas in our lives.

Creating Time: How to Master the Art of Intentionality

Global economic indicators suggest that despite the additional hours that people work daily, outcomes remain low. Everyone is busy — but that isn’t necessarily translating into productivity.

Half a day of not being fully present with tasks and people. This lack of presence is costly.

I got to know James through a good friend who have benefitted from his work. This time, I had a stopover in Singapore as I was travelling from India back to Australia. He brought me around to visit the sights fully funded. I like what he does and I believe you should get to know him too.

Omy Romelu. Research Supervisor. Evoqua Water Solutions

You are not alone if you think that financial matters are not getting simpler through the years, with crypto currencies to robo-advisors. I made a mistake to purchase a savings plan with the bank only to find out it was an endowment policy. Luckily James was here to guide me and understand what it was together with my colleagues. I’m confident James will be your biggest asset.
