Productivity - sorted

I’m working today yet have spent the morning messing around on the blog.  Not good for my business but a very productive morning for the blog!  It seems the instigator blog have been having similar thoughts regarding productivity and are looking for other people’s thoughts.

I’d certainly like to know what other regualar bloggers think on this.  Apologies if this is an imposition (which I know it is!) but I now put the ball in the court of Beennzz, Py, The Captain, J, Cory, JMS, M and Helen

  1. I’d also add a fourth bubble: The Ticking Clock.

    Otherwise, I’ll noodle around endlessly and never actually make a decision.

  2. availability of class A drugs
    the absence of law enforcement agencies
    a computer that doesn’t crash

    that pretty much sorts it for me.

  3. I’m with you j … it takes bugger all to get me distracted!

  4. I agree with ML, I need a manager who will get crap out of my way for me…and I need the tools to get the job done, which sometimes doesn’t happen very well. If my computer’s program is old and out of date and farting rather than doing what it is supposed to do, and a 10 minute task takes 2 hours, I get frustrated and bored, and go look at blogs. Not productive at all.

  5. what if you don’t want to be productive? because i heard that it is energy wasting!!

  6. productivity for me is the intersection of:

    A: potential for greatness upon success.
    B: agency.
    C: avoiding important, actual-job-related tasks.

    i can also be tricked into being productive with the promise of chicken nuggets or cheese-flavored potato chips.

  7. Depends on the task. As for my business, probably this:

    How interesting the job is
    Amount being paid
    Helpfulness of client

    That last one is key. Right now, for example, I’m waiting for a client to send me some files. Been waiting all day, so not terribly productive.

    As for my late-night creative outlets, I seem to hit my creative peak inside a 2-4 beer window. So I probably would’ve had:

    Not enough beer
    Too much beer
    Nothing good on TV

  8. dungeons, martinis … are we talking the same kind of work here Beenzz?

    15. ploop on April 24th, 2007 at 10:00 pm

  9. I’d like to add dark basement, no boss and co-workers, and free all you can drink martinis. That equals a high productivity zone for me

    16. Beenzzz on April 24th, 2007 at 7:34 pm

  10. I would like to add GOOD, capable management and communication in there.

    A big thing for me is, interest in the task. As long as I have an interest, then distractions don’t come into play.
