Getting Things Done – Nick Duffill <ul><li>The &quot;productivity formula&quot; that matches reality pretty well is &quot;Productivity = Knowledge x Focus squared&quot;. </li></ul><ul><li>This says that focusing hard on something is the most effective way to achieve it. A lower level of knowledge coupled with unwavering commitment can easily outperform someone with better theoretical knowledge who is trying to keep too many plates spinning. You can spend a fortune on tools, techniques and skills, but it is focus that ultimately counts. </li></ul>
