We went through all the ideas we had written down, and formulated the beginnings of a mission. It was to help the people we had passionately talked about the night before. Over time, that mission has become to make the world a more productive place, one person at a time. It all began as a blog - and using the same systems, processes and habits that you'll discover in the Productivity Blueprint, through sheer effort and execution we made it wildly successful. The original Asian Efficiency website mockup But that wasn't enough for us. We continued writing, talking to readers and clients and gathering data and information.

‘Melody’ Continue reading the main story Video For more than two decades, my home country of has had a stable democracy, as well as a thriving economy. At the same time, Chile has one of the largest wealth disparities in the world, reinforced by high tuition rates for secondary and college education. This means Chile has practically no social mobility, for how do you build a better future for yourself without education? Curanilahue is a small former coal-mining town that until recently was one of the poorest in Chile. Nearly all of the Curanilahue Orchestra’s children have pursued higher education, and most of them are the first generation in their families to graduate from a university. As this Op-Doc shows, Melody became a conductor for the new Children’s Orchestra in Chonchi, a small town on the distant southern island of Chiloé. My background is in narrative filmmaking and this is my first documentary.
