Productivity/Time Management 11 A General Theory of Productivity What makes people productive in general: Productivity = (Creative Energy + Focus + Motivation + Aptitude + Ideal Time) / (Difficulty + Distractions)

Productivity/Time Management 12 Create habits that increase the enablers. Figure out why were productive at weird times. Examine the tasks that we do and plan ideal times to work. Plan around or minimize distractions. Simplify complex tasks.

Heatmapping 14 productivity-can-make-you-more-productive/ PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY = the amount of productivity that youre capable of in a given amount of time. Identify the times when you are most focused, the most creative, and can get more done in less time – Maximize the use of that time – get rid of distractions!!

Heatmapping 15 productivity-can-make-you-more-productive/ Red Red: This is where productive capacity is the highest. Orange Orange: This level of productive capacity is the waystation between creative awesomeness and merely puttering along. Yellow Yellow: This level of capacity is the idle status. Some productive work can be done, but its not going to be high-level, lose-track-of-time type of productivity. Green Green: At this level, Im spending more energy trying to keep working than actually doing the work itself. Creativity, motivation, or focus is pretty much gone. Gray Gray: Hopefully Im asleep at this level.
