Are you a highly efficient person or “just” an efficient person? Odd question, right? I only ask because my podcast co-host, Lee, has convinced me that highly efficient people are different than your regular, run-of-the-mill efficient people.

Up until a couple of months ago, I would have told you that if you were efficient in any way, you were doing well. (Keeping in mind that being efficient can be different than being productive.) I never spent any time thinking that there were different tiers of efficiency. (And you probably haven’t, either.)

As I learned, it’s the unconventional habits that highly efficient people use that make them rise to the upper levels of efficiency.

Luckily, being unconventional doesn’t mean the habits are impossibly complicated.

Lee and I identified seven of these unconventional habits. Then we put together a seven-part podcast series and an infographic* for our listeners, designed to keep all of these habits top of mind. You can quickly ramp up your efficiency game by incorporating these habits into your life.
