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

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.
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
dungeons, martinis … are we talking the same kind of work here Beenzz?
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
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.
what if you don’t want to be productive? because i heard that it is energy wasting!!
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 If my computer’s program is old and out of date and farting rather than doing what it is supposed to do, and a 10 minute task takes 2 hours, I get frustrated and bored, and go look at blogs.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.
I’m with you j … it takes bugger all to get me distracted!
availability of class A drugs
the absence of law enforcement agencies
a computer that doesn’t crash
that pretty much sorts it for me.
