Your success depends on productivity . Your productivity depends on your effectiveness and effectivity . Those are two base assumptions for the self-reflection about self-management . Some people are more productive than others , and some areas of the organization are performing better than others . So there must be a way how to better at what we do . Successful people do something differently . But what ? I asked the “ productivity ” question myself a few years ago . Here is what I found . This is not a success story . It is a story of survival . I don ’ t consider myself to be successful . However , I believe to be effective and efficient in what I do .
So here are a few insights on productivity .
What do successful people have in common with people that want to be successful ? It is a Time .
Every one of us has 24 hours a day , seven days a week , and 365 days within a year . So to say I don ’ t have time is , let us say , not really true . If you read a biography of successful people , you realize that they are good in many things and not just one . Usually , they are good in business , they are also outstanding in some sport . They only have 24 hours a day too . Henry Ford said : “ Some people get ahead , during the time others waste .” In this quote , we can find the answer to how to be more productive . Simply we should stop wasting our time . Easy , right ? To prevent wasting our time on activities that are not essential makes us more effective .
