Here it is after almost a year of hiatus - the new issue of Productive! Magazine - Issue #15. Inside, you will find another set of productivity-boosting articles and the interview with a person I’ve always wanted to talk to – Marten Mickos. He is my guru in terms of virtual team management. As a CEO of MySQL AB he led the team of 500 people working from various parts of the world (read the interview to learn more about the size and geographical distribution of the MySQL employees). Perhaps it was the biggest telecommuting company of all times.
Apart from the interview, we feature 7 articles that will give you power to accomplish all your tasks faster and with less stress.

You’ll read an engaging passage by Laura Stack dedicated to time management and productivity on higher level of the corporate hierarchy. As Laura concludes: It all boils down to taking care of yourself, limiting access to your time, re-organizing your priorities, and shedding tasks other people can do better and more cheaply. Read the article even though you haven’t been promoted yet. Who knows what your boss is planning :-)

With my three girls, I have one choice: run my home efficiently, or be run over.
As a bonus – together with Augusto Pinaud I present the first chapter of our best-selling book, “#iPad Only”. Learn how to be productive with a tool that helps you stay focused and avoid distraction.
