Work while they sleep: Does this saying sound familiar? It probably does, since it is a common expression in competitive markets. However, as noble as working tirelessly may seem, the saying reflects a reality in which production is encouraged at any cost, even if it means exhaustion. We can solve this problem in two ways: by changing our mindset and using productivity tools.
We have reached a level of modernity that finally allows usa mobile number to rest and work at the same time. How? Through tools. Automation gives us the freedom to delegate to technology what we can, while doing what we need to do.

Productivity tools are systems, platforms, applications and others, developed and used with the intention of achieving greater performance at work.
However, these tools can be more complete, such as CRMs, or more objective, with a specific focus on one area. In any case, their objective is the same: to help you produce more, in less time and with the least possible wear and tear.
Some sectors in the country fluctuated in their productivity: data released by the Regis Bonelli Productivity Observatory of FGV IBRE show a 4% increase in productivity per hour worked in the first quarter of 2021.
Although it continues to grow, the research points to a significant slowdown. In other words, this shows us the need to implement a work routine with more productivity tools and, logically, a change in the team's mindset.
