By anchoring your understanding of productivity in God's plan, What's Best Next gives you a practical approach for increasing your effectiveness in everything you do.

There are a lot of myths about productivity--what it means to get things done and how to accomplish work that really matters. In our current era of innovation and information overload, it may feel harder than ever to understand the meaning of work or to have a sense of vocation or calling.

So how do you get more of the right things done without confusing mere activity for actual productivity?

Matt Perman has spent his career helping people learn how to do work in a gospel-centered and effective way. What's Best Next explains his approach to unlocking productivity and fulfillment in work by showing how faith relates to work, even in our everyday grind.

How to create a mission statement for your life that's actually practicable.How to delegate to people in a way that really empowers them.How to overcome time killers like procrastination, interruptions, and multitasking by turning them around and making them work for you.How to process workflow efficiently and get your email inbox to zero every day.How to have peace of mind without needing to have everything under control.How generosity is actually the key to unlocking productivity.
This expanded edition includes:

    A much needed book about productivity with a God Centered view. I was able to preview the book prior to its release. All book sellers are temporarily out of stock due to a high demand. I can hardly wait to get my hard copy. Bonnie Davis

    No matter where you are in life and what your role is, this book will help reshape the way you think about productivity and will help you become more effective through practical approaches he presents. When I finally took the topic of productivity more seriously about a year ago, I found many helpful suggestions. But I didn't feel 'whole' about the matter. Besides missing some of the big action pieces of productivity (which Matt speaks about), I was thinking about productivity all wrong. My starting point was wrong. Matt helped me see that I can't take out the thread of biblical theology that so naturally weaves itself into how one thinks about work, particularly productive work. Beyond the foundational truths, Matt weaves together in this one book the principles and practical applications of being productive that are connected to faith. His guidance in showing me the importance of clarifying my roles and creating a flexible framework was the most helpful thing in terms of practicality.
