Entrepreneur and mother of three, Holly Bohn, shares her unique, yet effective approach to productivity. Bohn's approach was inspired by the words of Francine Jay, a pioneer in minimalist living, "My goal is no longer to get more done, but rather to have less to do." The goal of productivity is not to cram more into an already hectic day, but to get the right things done in less time. Be effective, not busy.
