This sketchcast is a 3m15s video about the concept of Effectiveness and Efficiency. In the video I explain using a simple graphical representation the difference between the two and why I focusing on effectiveness needs to be done before focusing on efficiency.

If you want to read more about the subject, I suggest you head over to the cross-blog series on Mastering Productivity.

Saturday is sketchcast day. Short 5 minute videos in which I explain a concept related to the topics on my blog.

This sketchcast is about the Eisenhower matrix, also known as the time management or time leadership matrix. It’s a short 5 minute 30 second video explaining the concept and ways to use it to your advantage.

Eisenhower is not often credited for this concept, yet he is the originator of the quadrants as the people from Google Answers once checked for a curious person (it wasn’t me).

In the sketchcast I mention the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (aff) by Stephen Covey. I also wrote a series about Covey’s habits.

This is the first Sketchcast Saturday. Today I explain how I’m going to use sketchcasting as a tool on my blog. This is not an introduction on sketchcasting in general, you can find that on Rich Ziade’s site.

I enjoyed making it, but I sure hope that the next ones will take less time to make. It’s really hard to speak and not go Uhm and Aah all the time…

I hope you’ll enjoy this, and I appreciate all the feedback you guys can come up with!
