Matthew Cornell - matthewcornell.org’s Summary

I work with scientists and engineers in large organizations who have just been promoted or taken on big new responsibilities, and just can't keep up. These new roles, plus huge expectations and an insane pace, means they're utterly overload with dozens of projects, hundreds of emails, and lots more meetings and interruptions. I help by teaching them an air-tight system that structures everything so they can get to the important work instead of scrambling just to catch up.

Through my research into personal productivity I've integrated the best practices of modern "bottom-up" methodologies that acknowledge the importance of managing your focus, capturing all your commitments, and maintaining the ability to rapidly switch priorities in the face of modern work and life.
