    About this ebook

    The inspiration for writing this book came from that tough year while I was in London, UK. I was planning to enter a university degree program which required a foundation year through which I had to compete with other students. Everything looks normal so far. The issue was that the seats were limited, my options for similar programs were also limited, and what made things even worse is that I was older than most of the students as at that time I had my MSc Software Engineering degree already.

    Well, it was no doubt that I had to make some changes in my lifestyle. I spent around a year making those changes. I started to feel more productive and more in control. It was kind of a new feeling to me, a feeling to be productive, in a steady manner, and for not a short period of time. That was a bit odd for me. There had to be reasons and factors for such changes. I thus decided to trace those factors that lead to such productivity and success.

    I have traced and wrote those factors and used to prioritize them from time to time. I had a paper where I used to do most of that work which became shredded from editing, and yellowish of time. I didn't want to lose that paper and at the same time wanted to share what I have learned from that experience. So, here I'm writing those factors down in this book.

    Oh, didn't I mention that I was accepted in the program at the end?!

    I hope you enjoy the book, and Be Productive!

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      The first person who comes to my mind after achieving any goal is my father, Dr.Hasan, who really supported me in every stage of my life by all means, and still. So, may God bless him for what he did and still doing with me. I also want to thank my dear mother, Khawla, for her prayers for me and her emotional support throughout my journey. And, not to forget of course, my dear wife, Ola, for her support and help she is lending me and for all of her patience and time devoted to me for accomplishing my tasks. I would like to also thank all my brothers and sisters for making my life wonderful. Thanks also go to my child, Hasan, for the nice environment he is keeping up at home.
