What does it mean to be productive? That’s the question Dustin Wax asks in his Lifehack.org post, There’s More to Productivity Than Time Management - Lifehack.org. He suggests the typical answer might be, “Getting the most done in the least possible time.”
Once upon at time, efficiency experts and time-management consultants would have been brought into the workplace with one goal in mind: getting the most work possible out of employees. It was a matter of a good “bottom line”.
However, productivity goes far beyond time management. Dustin goes on to say,
“Here’s a different take on what productivity is: You’re being productive when your work is entirely satisfying and fulfilling.”
He touches on some of the qualities that define “entirely satisfying and fulfilling.”
- You grow as a person.
- You enjoy the company of others.
- You are proud of what you’ve completed.
- You feel confident about your abilities.
- You look forward to undertaking the same or similar projects in the future.
- You help others.
- You receive the acclaim of your peers.

Ian, I came across this article as well. To me, discipline IS as simple as “just do it darnitt” BUT it’s also an artform that takes time to master. Thanks for your continually solid posts.
