What are some key productivity techniques used by top business leaders like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk?

Multitasking can be effectively applied in a work environment by prioritizing tasks based on their importance and urgency. Start with the most critical tasks (MIT) and then move on to less important tasks that can be done simultaneously. However, it's important to note that excessive multitasking can lead to decreased productivity and errors. Therefore, it's crucial to find a balance and avoid multitasking when it involves complex tasks that require full attention. Also, avoid excessive or frequent meetings and feel free to leave a meeting if it stops providing value.

Some strategies to avoid excessive or frequent meetings in a business setting include:

1. Clearly define the purpose and objectives of each meeting. If the objectives can be achieved through an email or a quick chat, then a meeting may not be necessary.

2. Limit the number of attendees. Only invite those who are directly involved in the meeting's purpose.

3. Set a strict agenda and stick to it. This helps to keep the meeting focused and efficient.

4. Encourage open communication. If team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns outside of meetings, there may be less need for frequent meetings.

5. Evaluate the necessity of recurring meetings. Sometimes, these become a habit rather than a necessity.
