Never Confuse Work with Productivity
I know someone who works very hard. They are very dedicated. They are also very frustrated. They are very frustrated because despite their hard work and dedication they never fully complete a task. They are not organized so they try 30 ways to resolve the issue. They focus so hard on the resolution that they never take time to examine the issue. They work very hard trying but are not productive. Examine the problem before you work on the solution.
Never confuse work with productivity.
I know another good person who works hard for others. They attend meetings on others behalf. They make phone calls on others behalf. They contribute heavily to others success who they believe in. They work so hard for others they rarely have time for their selves. If u ask them they will proudly note the accomplishments they helped others achieve never recognizing their life has been at a standstill for years. People have moved in and out of this person’s life and left them with little more than a thank you. For years they have used their car, gasoline, time, and money to help others reach their goals. They have worked so hard for others who never gave back. Years of work with no personal accomplishments.
Never confuse work with productivity.
