Productivity For Procrastinators Ebook Introduction
Productivity is often a misunderstood concept. Being productive
isn’t necessarily about accomplishing more, but rather it’s about
investing your time and attention in a more strategic way to add
value to your career, life, and relationships. If you’re like most
people, you probably wish that you could be more productive in
your life. However, one thing that you may have failed to consider
is the reason and motivation that drives you to work toward
accomplishing your goals.
Too often, our desires to be more productive are based on the
belief that it is what is expected of us by society or because we
think we are being overloaded with work and don’t feel as if we can
handle the workload. You might feel a desire to be more
productive to impress your coworkers and boos or even to appear
as though you are busy. While these are all valid reasons for
wanting to be more productive, they are all external reasons.
Other external motivators for wanting to be more productive may
include material things, money, or fame.
While money can be a great motivator for many people, it is vital
that you consider whether or not there is something else driving
you. If your reasons for wanting to be more productive are shallow
ones that don’t serve a higher purpose in your life, changes are
high that it will decrease your motivation down the line, allowing
your productivity to fall by the wayside.
If you want to increase your productivity then you need to take the
time to consider what is driving your desire for productivity. If you
need more money to support your family, then the love you have
for your family might be your driving factors. Perhaps, you’ve
found yourself in poverty, and your drive is the desire to improve
your situation and yourself. If you want to improve your
productivity, you need to determine what drives you on a deeper
level and understand why you are working so hard.
It is critical that you make sure that you know what you are
striving to achieve. Only you know what is driving you. Only you
know what will make you wake up early and work hard. Only you
know why you need to be more productive.
It doesn’t matter what you tell other people, and it doesn’t even
matter if it’s true or not. You may have a desire to tell people what
they expect to hear, but it may not be your real reason for wanting
to improve your productivity. What does matter is what you tell
yourself. If you want to improve your productivity you have to be
honest with yourself. To keep your productivity from falling as
quickly as it has risen, you need to continue to remind yourself
why you are working so hard, being sure to always keep it in your
heart and mind.
