Category: “Personal Productivity”

Are you always busy? Do you often feel overwhelmed by all the things you have to do? If you have entered a cycle where you don’t even have time to think, you can be sure that while you are doing many things, most of them will not make any real difference in your sense of being overwhelmed. Sometimes being busy is just a form of lazy thinking and ineffective action.

Trying to do things as best as possible is a very commendable attitude in most cases. As great professionals, we strive for perfection in everything we do. But by definition, true perfection is never actually achieved, there is always a small defect or error somewhere.

In today’s world there is an increasing demand for productivity. We are expected to have the ability to make things happen, in whatever the roles we perform in our society.

You have managed to set up and assimilate a personal productivity system that works for you. Congratulations, that is not easy. Despite it, you are aware that, in many cases, you are not performing well. You are realizing that, in order to perform certain tasks, you need much more time than you had planned.

Productivity is not about trying to get more done every day and filling every second of your time with something so you feel busy. Being busy may make you look like a good employee, but that is a false type of productivity.
