Interview with Simon Wright

Today we are interviewing Simon Wright, author of many books on organization and productivity.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Simon. I'm a father, husband, author and productivity enthusiast, with a passion for helping people achieve their dreams, whatever they may be. I have made it my life's work to study the habits and patterns of successful people, to distinguish what sets them apart from the majority, whose dreams have more often than not eluded them. Hard wired behavioural patterns are at the core when it comes to reaching one's potential, and it is my hope that the books I have written will remove negative mental conditioning and help a wide variety of people in attaining whatever it is they want in life.

My areas of expertise are organizational and cognitive psychology, self-help and motivational encouragement.

In my spare time I enjoy trips to the beach with my family, practising yoga and meditation, and enjoy every minute on this great planet, knowing I am helping people through my publications.

Here's to your increased success and happiness!

What inspired you to write about organization and discipline?

You have a lot of great ideas, tips, bits of advice, etc in your books.How do you get these ideas? Is it through trial and error in your own life?
I have gained many insights throughout my career, so a lot of this is direct knowledge.

What do you have in mind for your next writing project?
I'm releasing a book about establishing a solid morning routine in your day to set you on the right path for daily productivity.

As a father and a husband, how has your enthusiasm for productivity shaped your day-to-day life?
It has allowed me to organise my time, to incorporate my work, writing and family life.

Were you always a productive person?
Yes I have always been a relatively productive person, but as of late my productivity has gone through the roof!

Is there anything else you'd like potential readers to know about your book?
