And not just in terms of how much stuff we can get done. To me, productivity is way deeper and more important than just how much crap I can check off my list. We need to start talking about the types of things that we\u2019re going to get done. What is the purpose behind what we\u2019re doing? Where are we spending time? These elements are all a part of the productivity process. This is way more important to me than how many checkboxes I actually mark off as completed and how many are remaining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How you feel about your work is really important.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we are \u201cshoulding\u201d all over ourselves, we&#8217;re typically comparing ourselves to other people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t compare yourself with somebody who you think have better abilities than you.
