Triple Your Personal Productivity by Steve Pavlina
We Americans seemingly have a big thing for working hard. Or at least we seem to spend a lot of time at work. Reading Steve Pavlina’s article about productivity this afternoon really struck a chord with me; I instinctively knew exactly what he was talking about.
While I am fairly confident that I get a lot done, I am consistently left with feeling like I could do more. So, I’ve decided to create a time log and really get to the bottom of how much time I spend on revenue generating actions vs. time that may move the action forward but doesn’t impact the bottom line. Where can I improve? Where can I insert time for big thinking outside of daily action items?
Although part of me is not at all excited about one more thing to do each day, I am totally intrigued to see what I find when I track my where I spend my time. After all, some of the most powerful and rewarding experiences in my life have been periods filled full of activities outside of the office that I had to get out of the office to do. It’s the phenomenon of doing 5 days of work in 3, vs. three days of work in five.
Being busy is one thing. Creating extraordinary results in all areas of life is another. The key is where we spend our time.
