My efficiency has improved dramatically, and while I’m still working about the same number of hours, I’m getting more done and I’m doing things more efficiently, more thoroughly, and to a higher standard than I ever have. I’m finally getting to those big projects and ideas I have not had the time to address before. Thanks for helping me to build systems to manage the day-to-day workload so that I can focus my eye and my effort on the big picture.
