Productive

Fast Company is one of my favorite magazines to read. The magazine is a business magazine that prints  10 issues a year and mainly focuses on innovation, design, technology and leadership. Every time I read Fast Company magazine or online on their website I always come across sue great  bits of information and encouraging words for people like myself that are somewhat business minded and aspire to be great. 

One of the latest articles I've come across falls under their work smart category entitled, 17 Productive Ways to Spend 5 Minutes Instead of Checking Your Email (Again). 

This article highlights the idea that today when we find ourselves waiting for something or have an extra few minutes to spare, we often take our smart phones out of our pocket and go right into checking our email inbox. 

There are some pretty great tips in this article and after reading it I took a few steps back and looked at what I actually do with my free time and how I can take that time and do something more productive... put the phone down perhaps and maybe read a chapter in a book, write a letter to a friend, or even lift a few weights. 

I really recommend taking some time and checking out the Fast Company website. It is full of quick articles that are really insightful and refreshing from some of the everyday blog posts or news articles

that we often find ourselves reading.
