Everyone is talking about being productive but what does really being productive mean ?
But first of all let's look at productivity;
Productivity is an average measure of the efficiency of production. It can be expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in the production process, i.e. output per unit of input. When all outputs and inputs are included in the productivity measure it is called total productivity. Outputs and inputs are defined in the total productivity measure as their economic values. The value of outputs minus the value of inputs is a measure of the income generated in a production process. It is a measure of total efficiency of a production process and as such the objective to be maximized in production process.So, What does being productive really mean ?
Some people do, in fact, think of being productive as producing more, or getting more done. And that’s not a big surprise as to be productive literally means to produce. Therefore, many of us tend to translate being productive to mean that we need to keep doing and going and producing, and all at the same time. However, this can cause a ton of stress in our lives and make the quality of what we are producing decrease.
If you cannot explain it simply ;you dont understand it well enough !!!! Albert Einstein
Being productive is seen as 'giving less time and getting more done' recently.
many people are busy for no reason, or for the wrong reason.They think it makes them more productive. Or they feel more productive because of all of the activity, but yet they aren’t truly more productive. Busy does not equal productive at all. That is one of the biggest fallacies of our society these days.
To me, being productive is accomplishing what I set out to do. That makes me feel personally productive as I have identified particular items as important and prioritized them, so they are the ones I should be focusing on.
o I encourage you to determine what YOUR personal definition of productivity is. Don’t worry so much about what everyone else is doing or thinking.Why not giving it a try ?
