Having a Task List Does Not Make You Productive
At least someone finally said it!
The thing is, the heart of this statement reflects the classic, busy vs. productive debate.
I would define each term simply:
busy: doing things
productive: doing the right things
Some days, I will work and work and work and (you get the picture) at the end of the day…(drumroll)…the tasks I completed were so minuscule that it didn’t even matter. That feeling, is worse than the i-have-been-on-twitter-all-day feeling. Because instead of getting nothing done (and enjoying it), the wrong things got done and there is still a list of right things waiting for me.
