Author Interview The Productivity Book
When did you know you wanted to be an author?
I always wrote, for my school magazine, in my various jobs and privately, writing is a way of working through personal findings.
What inspired you to write The Productivity Book?
The great talks I had with these 30 interviewees over the past years, some of them are real friends.
What is your favorite chapter from your book
As much as I admire the advice each one gives about their own productivity story, I really like the afterword which summarizes the findings in a very handy way for those readers, that do not like to read through the whole book.
Did you set any writing goals for 2016? If so, what are they?
Writing for me is a daily habit, so I do not need specific goals to make this happen. I wish I would have more time to work on some ideas I have in my mind about another book, this might have to wait a little.
