Productivity
What determines productivity?
How many hours you put in?
How many places you visit?
How many lengthy emails you write?
How many phone calls you make?
How many tasks you complete on your “to do” list?
How many hours a day you spend in meetings?
To me, it’s simple.
Did you take another major step towards your destination?
In some cases, all of those things above could possibly, maybe, potentially contribute to productivity.
But ultimately, the things that really matter are those things that advance a cause, achieve an objective, fulfill the mission, win the prize or capture the dream.
Otherwise they’re distractions that delay, deter, or deny progress.
Optimum productivity is maximum progress.
