Why is high productivity important to you? This is an honest question.
- username90 7y agoIt is fun to be productive. Being the best performer on your team can make work very enjoyable. Also it is not fun to be unproductive. Being the worst performer on your team can make work very stressful. Also it helps with promotions and therefore money if you work at a decent place. If you work on your own project your productivity matters even more.
- Ma8ee 7y agoThe question was directed to Abishek, and I didn’t ask about general advantages of productivity. As you have noticed, they are easy to enumerate.
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoI was running a startup quite successfully for 5 years as a single founder, single executive from an environment without a startup ecosystem. I recruited and trained employees personally; productivity became a necessity and a habit. Had to close the startup due to physical health problems, now that I'm rebuilding my life I guess productivity has become more important.
- Ma8ee 7y agoOf course productivity is important, but it isn't an end in itself. Neither are high incomes or appearences of success. If you are lonely and have to sacrifice your health you really have to start thinking about what it is all for.
- Abishek_Muthian 7y agoI agree completely, I'm cautious about physical health now and doesn't trade it for anything. But, that has resulted in me having very little time for productive work and hence I'm in a situation where I need to optimise every bit for it.
