The 5W+1H productivity formula is a small shorthand that permits us to evaluate a given task or action from a productivity point of view. This scheme consists of a number of questions whose answer would provide us with all the necessary information and data for research or for evaluation of an action.
Time management does have nothing to do with time! But it has a lot of doing with priorities.
But, how we define time management, today, and what different our interpretation has towards, similar, other “explanations“? It is only a matter of interpretation or a matter of the focus, that lead us to a different approach today. And if so, why we need something “different“?
A long time ago, when I was young, besides my efficiency and productivity endeavors[!], I had the opportunity to involve with and study various martial arts, both from a physical as well as from a philosophical and a historical point of view.

Startups are not always easy. Most of the times bring a lot of problems and frustration. And questions. A lot and lot of questions. With doubts and sometimes guilds of what would have happened.

Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters
One of the most inspiring books, I have ever read, is a book by Phillip C. Mcgraw, Ph.D.
This book is focused on 10 life laws, providing a situation/life – strategy approach for resolving a given situation. The laws are presented in simple terms while the strategies described constitute small landmarks for rethinking given situations, most of the times we are not able to address in an effective way.
The main objective of Dr. Mcgraw, a behavior expert, is to make people review some well and long-established approaches and attitudes while he is providing possible ways for resolving situations we may find ourselves unable to resolve.
