PMP #278: Turning off non-essential systems

The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement

If you’ve ever heard the story or seen the Tom Hanks movie about Apollo 13, you may remember that the crew almost didn’t make it. After a routine procedure led to the explosion of one of the ship's oxygen tanks, the crew had to shut down almost all systems on the ship in order to preserve power which they would need to reenter the earth's atmosphere and land safely. This meant turning off their guidance computer, waste management systems and even the ship's heating system.

This story is a good analogy that helps you understand how to prioritise your time.
