"The bad news is that time flies. The good news is you're the pilot."
--Michael Altshuler
Sometimes it seems there just aren't enough hours in the day to
get our work done. Sure, we Americans are productive. The United
States is, after all, the most productive industrialized nation. But
we also average the most work hours per year.
So, inspired by Michael Altshuler's quote and France's title of
#2 in productivity even though its citizens work nearly 250 hours
fewer than we do each year, we devote this issue to taking control of
time and getting more done. We found there are ways to be more
productive no matter what you do or where you work--and they don't
necessarily mean becoming an adept multi-tasker or devout keeper of
to-do lists.

Bright Lights = Productivity
A recent study found that employee performance can be increased
10 to 20% by adding brighter office lighting. Plus when researchers
in Japan increased office lighting to 750 lux (most U.S. work
lighting is at 250 lux), test subjects also reported more alertness
and improved moods.

Secrets to Staying Focused in Your Home Office
People who work where they live have special issues concerning
productivity. (You most likely won't be tempted to do laundry while
writing a report if you sit at a company-supplied desk in a company
building, for example.) But operating out of a home-based office can
be highly fruitful with a little planning and these
Secrets to Staying Focused.
