"The research says..." and then what?

I absolutely loved Jonathan Dahl's Editor's Page letter in the September issue of SmartMoney.

When you read something and in it the author says, "The research says..." do you buy it? In a seminar recently someone asked, "What are the proven strategies to improve productivity?" It's an important question...I just don't have really good answers.

Unless...you use this answer:

"The ways that work for you."

I know, I know, it's kind of a work-around, but I believe it in my heart. This is why my work with people one-on-one is so specific, powerful, and long-lasting. When we work together, we're saying aloud, "There are one or two more effective ways to prioritize and manage my time. Let's go find them..." and, we always do!
