For me at least. I am the most productive when I can do many SMALL commits and able to push them to prod. You have to be able to make your change; either a refactoring or a functionality change and get it through the QA, review, deploy process. Now days I spent a lot of time, dealing with multiple branches and deployment environments and my productivity is in the floor. In a previous job I was able to deploy 2 or 3 changes a day in prod. It was very full filling.
