015: Important Lessons on Productivity, Time Management and Leadership from Kevin Kruse of LeadX

Kevin Kruse shares his story and the lessons he has learned from starting multiple businesses, including two that failed and several that he successfully sold. Kevin has written books about time management, productivity, social media and leadership and management. He is also the host of the LeadX podcast and creator of the group with the same name. Some important take-aways from this interview include:

• The importance of working smarter, not harder. Focus on time management and productivity to get more done
• If you measure productivity by results instead of hours worked, you will get more done (and more time back)
• Importance of taking care of yourself and not working yourself to death
• Key tips on time management and productivity, like scheduling everything instead of using a to-do list
• Why you should figure out when you have the most energy and schedule your post important tasks for that time of day
• The Pareto principle (80/20 rule) - don't let perfection get in the way of results
• Challenge: Do more to show gratitude each day
