A productivity score by work and time

Great article over at TED, by Julia Fawal, the 5 types of mentors you need in your life

Check out all five. It’s one thing to want to be more productive but unless you were raised in a very successful family, you may not know the “how”. Great advice here.

Mentor #1: The master of craft

“If you know you want to be the best in your field — whether it’s the greatest editor, football quarterback, entrepreneur — ask, Who are the most iconic figures in that area?” says Tjan. This person can function as your personal Jedi master, someone who’s accumulated their wisdom through years of experience and who can provide insight into your industry and fine-tuning your skills. Turn to this person when you need advice about launching a new initiative or brainstorming where you should work next. “They should help you identify, realize and hone your strengths towards the closest state of perfection as possible,” he says.
