Have you gone to
work determined to complete just one or two really important things? But then,
before you know it, it’s the end of the day and you haven’t even had to time to
think about those tasks? Or maybe on New Year’s Day or your birthday you reflect
that another year has passed and you haven’t made progress toward achieving
your big life goals?
The two situations are deeply related. If you spend the best part of your days focused on trying to keep up with what the world throws your way, you lose your ability to shape the life you want to live. True productivity isn’t about checking more things off your to-do list every day. It’s not about being busy reacting to the unrelenting amount of communication and information you receive every day.
Try this: Ask yourself these two questions: “What kind of person do I want to be?” and “What kind of life do I want to live?” True productivity means accomplishing more of what’s important to you—your significant results. On a scale of 1 – 5, how well are you doing at accomplishing your significant results right now?
