Productivity For Procrastinators

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.
