I think that us Gen-Z-ers are uncovering the secrets to working smarter and not just harder. I'm always eager to learn new ways of optimizing my workflow. I want to accomplish more and spend less time doing it. Learn a lot, but not break my teeth over new ideas. A recent discussion with David Johnson got me thinking about how I do this. I'm looking forward to sharing my tips with you but I'm curious to hear yours. How do you make the time you spend working worthwhile and how do you maintain growth professionally? #growth #worklifebalance #happiness

The counterintuitive secret to success: Subtraction, not addition. We're conditioned to believe that more is better - more clients, more offerings, more tasks. But the path to sustainable growth is paved with less. Less busywork, more impact work. Less multitasking, more single-tasking. Less saying yes to everything, more saying yes to what matters. Clarity removes the overwhelm from your life. Use it to discern between the vital few and the trivial many.

Does PRODUCTIVITY simply mean: getting more done in less time to accelerate career success? I used to think so, but I’ve come to a different conclusion. In my 20s, I equated productivity with cramming as much as possible into my day. This mindset led me straight to burnout. After some reflection, I realized I had misunderstood productivity entirely. So, what does productivity mean to me? It’s about dedicating time to what TRULY MATTERS—both personally and professionally. Let me explain using two scenarios: Person A spends their evening after work playing with their kids. Person B spends their evening after work coding for a side hustle. Who is being productive? The old me would have said Person B. But the truth is, both are productive because they’re engaging in activities that TRULY MATTER to them. The key takeaway? Self-awareness is crucial. Understanding what truly matters to you can redefine your approach to productivity. What are your thoughts on this perspective? How do you define productivity? I’d love to hear your insights in the comments. #Productivity #WorkLifeBalance #SelfAwareness #TimeManagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #MindfulLiving #BurnoutPrevention #MeaningfulWork

Have you ever thought about how time is elastic? If you were to spend 1 hour in an ice bath it would feel like a decade. But 1 hour in the sun at the beach would feel like a minute. The same principle applies to your work. If you're only measuring how much time you're spending on tasks... but you're not measuring how impactful they are to your business. • How much deep work you got • Time in flow states • $$ value of that task Then you're most likely wasting a lot of time. The goal isn't to work a lot. The goal is to get things done. That implies being intense and intentional about what you choose to work on. If you want to compress a lot of growth in a short amount of time: Insanely high level of intensity + highly important work. It's that simple.

What does productivity truly mean? 🤔 Is it solely defined by your work-related activities, such as meeting KPIs, completing daily tasks, and so on? Or, Can it also be described as the personal fulfillment you achieve, not necessarily tied to work but more aligned with your overall sense of well-being and contentment? Does contentment really matter? If not, then who does productivity really benefit? Is it for personal fulfillment or for the company's success? If it's important to balance both personal well-being and company productivity, how can individuals achieve this balance? Finding the middle ground is key. #productivity

Ever measured your work by time, not tasks? Let's talk. I saw a graph that changed how I see productivity. It showed 'Intense Work,' 'Just Work,' and 'Lazy Work.' Here's the lesson I learned: ↳ 'Intense Work' can lead to quick burnout. ↳ 'Just Work' is sustainable and often more effective. ↳ 'Lazy Work' stretches time with little reward. But it's not just about clocking hours: ↳ Smart work trumps hard work. Efficiency is key. ↳ Your 'Just Work' pace is unique. Honor that. ↳ Balance is crucial. Rest to maintain your pace. The real insight? It's about the right effort over the right time. ↳ Peak performance isn't constant. It's strategic. ↳ Consistency outperforms sporadic intensity. ↳ Steady effort brings sustainable success. So, reflect on this: What's your work rhythm? Does it need a tweak? How do you stay productive? P.S. Share your strategies. Your rhythm might inspire someone else's harmony.
