Productivity
Every night, when I go to bed, I ask
one question to myself, “What is my today’s productivity?” Sometimes I get
answer, sometimes I don’t. May be since I am being part of IT processes,
productivity is a routine word for me but not for everyone.
I try to remember the activities of
whole day. I try to recollect the words I have spoken. I ask myself, “Have I
done any mistakes today? If yes, then how can I avoid them tomorrow? What is
today’s outcome for me? Did I achieve anything? How many things I kept pending
and I have to look at them next day?”
These various questions help me
improve myself, my actions, my words. These various questions help me prepare
plan for tomorrow. And this plan makes me ready to face next day. Next morning,
I remember all pending tasks which I have to execute today. Sometimes it’s
possible to execute all of them, sometimes it’s not. Then the cycle of tasks
pending for today, pending tasks to be executed next day, if any of them are
still pending at the end of day then they will be planned for execution next
day again, it continues.
These
questions also help me understanding my capability and my efficiency. By looking at it, I can
prepare a plan myself.
This plan will help me improving efficiency and capability to give best out of
me.
Usually, I like to take rest on Sunday to prepare myself for whole week. But does this resting means no productivity to me? The answer is no. Rest is also an important thing for everyone and our body needs it. So if I take rest then also I count the day as productive as it is much needed.
So, my definition of productivity is
every day’s efficient outcome in terms of usefulness, which I have done in
whole day, either useful for me or useful for someone else.
What is your definition of
productivity?
