In a recent LinkedIn Influencers post, Productivity Hacks: Less Is More<\/a>, Ray Chambers<\/a>, United Nations Special Envoy for Financing the Health MDGs and for Malaria, shares his \u201csimple switch\u201d concept for increasing productivity in all parts of our life. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
When the clock is ticking (which it always is) and I know I have a limited amount of time to produce a great impact, I look for the \u201csimple switch\u201d that can make the biggest impact. As I attempt to de-clutter my mind, it becomes easier to see the one simple solution that\u2019s almost always right there. The \u201csimple switch\u201d creates a cascading effect, addressing multiple problems with one resolution and increasing my productivity exponentially. Problems might be multifaceted and complex, but solutions don\u2019t need to be.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Chambers\u2019 beautiful \u201csimple switch\u201d turns on the light of clarity: to see beyond complexity; to bring focus to the real issues or problems; to see and feel with objectivity based on purpose. As great leaders, may you always keep your \u201csimple switch\u201d in the \u201con\u201d position.\u00a0 Remember his words: \u201cSometimes the best way to be productive is to sit back and quietly look for that one simple switch. It can change your life, and from my experience, potentially the lives of millions more.\u201d\u00a0 The switch is there\u2026 pause, reflect, dream.\u00a0 You will find it\u2026 and with it, you will change the world.<\/span><\/div>\n

Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/span><\/div>\n
