Stress-free productivity does exist

What’s the life of a modern man or woman like? George Carlin said it well: “A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond.”

It doesn’t matter how well you work on any given day – if you’re not consistent in getting things done then you’re wasting all that hard work. The problem is that being consistently productive is infinitely harder than having a natural ebb and flow.

The need for cognitive closure is a psychological term that describes the human desire to obtain a straight answer to any questions leaving no space for confusion or ambiguity.

One of the factors that influence the most in your personal productivity is the energy you have when you need to face a task. It’s obvious that if you’re feeling tired, moody, distracted or grumpy, you won’t be capable of keeping the same level of attention to what you are doing and because of this you either will take longer to complete the task or the final result will be worse. But usually, both things will happen.

The sheer number and scope of your responsibilities are dizzying.
