3. What are the things only you can do that make a significant difference to your organization?
4. What can you work on right now, in this moment, that will make the greatest impact?
You must answer these questions honestly and clearly. As you ask yourself these questions and work on the answers all day, you will soon double your productivity.
Remember to get input from your boss. He has the best understanding and insight into what he thinks you can contribute most to right now.
