I am currently focused on personal development as I write two books at the moment, exploring themes such as email productivity and self-improvement.
The book delves into stories of singular turning points—moments that lasted mere seconds—yet forever altered the lives of the subjects and those around them, potentially impacting millions within their communities and globally. A chance encounter or coincidence unexpectedly redirects the course of history, much like the pivotal events that shape our personal development and influence our email productivity.
The inspiration for this book struck me while engaging with various podcasts and literature. I observed a recurring motif among the authors and founders: their lives were irrevocably transformed by a solitary interaction, incident, eureka or 'Aha!' moment, setback, or any event with a profound shock factor, often leading to their success in writing books or other impactful endeavors.
This book will document the narratives of 50 different individuals spanning technology, media, business, academia, sports, and other domains. Each profile will include a concise biography, detailing the pivotal moment of impact, their enduring legacy, and the lessons gleaned from their journey of transformation.
Emails have been a universal part of our lives for over half a century, becoming as prevalent as the telephone. However, many still face challenges with email productivity, especially in professional settings. Drawing from 26 years of personal development and 20 years in a professional environment, the author has compiled a comprehensive list of 71 universal email principles. These principles are not merely an instruction manual on how to use email; they serve as a guide to enhance email productivity and effectiveness. Regardless of your email client, whether web-based or local, these principles can significantly improve your productivity, save time, and help project a professional image. The number 71 pays homage to the year the first office email was sent, in 1971, and reflects the timeless nature of these principles that could even inspire writing books on effective communication.
Please check back in the near future for progress and updates on email productivity tools, personal development strategies, and writing books.
