How to leverage basic tools for advanced productivity

What did you do today? It’s as common of a question in the business World as the dreaded statement “you’re fired”.  And yet, employees seem to find every way possible to simply not get fired; just enough to get by, rather than finding a quick, easy way to answer the first question any time it’s posed.
