This 'productive laziness' approach builds on the Pareto principle that states that for many phenomena, 80 per cent of consequences stem from 20 per cent of the causes. To put it simply, only 20 per cent of the things people do during their working days really matter. Inside this insightful and informative book you'll discover: • The intelligence of laziness - why smart, lazy people have the edge over others; • Why the Jungle Book's 'Bare Necessities' should be the productive lazy theme tune; • How to get the maximum output for a minimised input; • Quick tips to productive lazy heaven. In addition you can learn some really interesting things about eating dinosaurs, wearing ermine cloaks, and how to spot a psychopathic woman at a funeral. Also find out why you should never go ballooning, how to deliver a good Oscar acceptance speech, and why it is important for your team that you read the newspaper each morning. And yes, you may also learn some, quick, simple but incredibly important things about project management. If you are lazy enough.

We are 100 ee company and the IT person has free access to ALL areas and there is no system of tracking or checking. My HR user name and password gets reset anytime he wants to go into my pc/server to make updates. This includes privacy items such as email, wages, ss#, etc. Is this normal practice?? Am I wrong to question this practice? What about policies or practices at majority of companies regarding their IT people’s access.
