Today’s productivity problems go far deeper than just managing units of time. 

In the Knowledge Worker Age, we have specific challenges that can leave us feeling unaccomplished and weary at the end of the day.

We no longer stand in an assembly line doing repetitive tasks. We have comparatively unlimited decisions about what to work on, when, and how (“Do I answer this email? Accept this meeting invitation? Work on this project or that one?”). We do our best to handle decisions as they come in, but the decisions we are required to make are complex and have a high value.
