Produce More, Work Less
Maybe multitasking isn't the best way to work, says Stever Robbins. He suggests that organizing tasks in parallel (delegate!), saying "no" when you've reached your limit, and maintaining focus all go a long way in ensuring greater productivity...and shorter hours. Read this article, "Productivity Means Working Smarter, Not Longer," from the January 30 issue of HBS Working Knowledge. Read more.

| MEMBER PROFILES |
Information Outlook®is planning a series of articles that will profile an information professional in every issue, starting in January or February.
We're looking for people who are doing interesting work -- or who might have something interesting in his or her background. For example, the June 2005 issue of the magazine featured an info pro who also owns a book store in Toronto.
The only restrictions: They should have interesting stories to tell, and they must be SLA members.
You probably know people who would make a good profile in Information Outlook®. If you do, SLA's publications director, John T. Adams III, wants to hear from you. You can e-mail him at jadams@sla.org. Include a sentence or two about why you think we should write about why you are suggesting them -- plus their contact information.
