Andy Neary uses pitch count as a productivity metaphor: throwing 77 pitches in seven innings taught him that fewer, purposeful tasks improve accuracy and longevity. Working from home has people adding three extra hours daily, but cutting waste pitches and making every task count lets you do more in less time.

So what's your daily pitch count look like? Let me explain.
One of the most underappreciated stats for a pitcher in baseball is his pitch count. For me, it meant everything because if.
I could keep my pitch count low, it meant that I enhanced my longevity. I was more accurate, more effective, and.
The games didn't last as long.
In fact, one of the greatest games I ever had was back in high school.
I threw 77 pitches in a seven inning game. You see, we accomplished our goal, we won the game.
I was accurate, I was effective, and.
I got more done in less time.
The game didn't even last an hour and a half. One of the craziest things I hear.
In baseball is when people talk about.
Waste pitches, which is literally a pitch a pitcher throws to just waste a pitch. I never got that. Every pitch should have a purpose. If you're wasting pitches, all you're doing.
Is adding throws to your arm, which.
Is making it more tired and it's taking away from your effect effectiveness and.
You'Re not going to last as long.
So again, I ask you the question.
What does your pitch count in your day look like?
Are you waking up and knowing that.
Every pitch you throw has a purpose? Or are you just kind of waking.
Up throwing one waste pitch after another, not really getting anything done and letting.
The hours just prolong themselves throughout your day. You see everything you do, every activity, every task that you accomplish during your day right now has to have a purpose. I heard a stat just yesterday that said, on average, right now, people are working three hours longer a day than.
They did when they were in the office.
Guys, we're missing the point.
That's not the purpose of this pause.
Of working from home.
So my advice to you is focus on your pitch count each and every day. Make sure every task, every activity, every pitch you throw has a purpose.
