What's Best Next Video Study: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done

By anchoring your understanding of productivity in God's plan, What's Best Next gives your study group or class a practical approach for increasing effectiveness in work and life.

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.

The What's Best Next Video Study, a companion to What's Best Next and the What's Best Next Study Guide (sold separately), offers a practical approach for improving productivity in all areas of life. It will help you better understand:

• 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.
