[The Swedish Organizer] Creating Space, Vol, 4: The Best Kind of Productivity Creates Impact & Opportunity ✨

The Best Kind of Productivity Creates Impact & Opportunity

Welcome

Time is like sand.

It slips through your fingers at a moment's notice.

We have to make it count by being mindful of how we use it.

No question about it.

But there's another piece to productivity that we rarely talk about, and that is impact.

Being productive means that you’re creating impact.

It means that you are using the resources you have available to you in the best way possible.

Sometimes you can do that quickly, and save a few hours.

I love those moments.

However, sometimes you have to spend a few more minutes on something in order to create the right impact.

That’s always a good use of your time.

I want to invite your to see your productivity through a multi-faceted lens.

Yes, we have to be careful with how we spend our time, but it is not the only criteria.

It's merely one criteria.

After all, if you’re working on something unimportant, does it matter how fast you do it?

No.

Don’t confuse being busy or working quickly with productivity.

If the work you’re doing in the world creates true impact, you are a productive person.

So with that said, I'd love to know: What type of impact are you creating with your time?

Hit reply and let me know.

Success Story

My to-do list was full of projects that sat for weeks, months... a long time, and weren't getting done. The lightbulb moment was when I realized they didn't belong on that list at all.
