How to Measure Your Productivity The Business Minimalist: Declutter and Organize your Business
-
- Self-Improvement
Have you ever felt like you were busy all day but accomplished absolutely nothing? Have you ever ended a day realizing you only crossed one thing off your to-do list but felt wildly accomplished? If you're focussed on becoming "more productive" it's important to understand how to measure your productivity. Otherwise, how will you know if you're making any progress?! The problem is that productivity can be difficult to measure - it's not so simple as how many tasks you cross off your list each day (wouldn't that be nice though?).
On a global scale, we measure productivity by GDP (a country's total output). As a business owner, it can be tempting to fall in line - the more we make the more productive we are right? Yes and no. The United States may be #1 in GDP, but we're #15 in happiness. If you're hyper-focussed on improving the wrong metrics, it's easy to lose sight of what really matters. You could become super efficient and maybe even wildly "successful" without actually moving the needles that matter in your life and business.
In this episode, I'm sharing a more well-rounded definition for what it really means to be productive as a modern woman in business as well as a simple formula for you to test out to measure your daily productivity. Press play to tune into the full episode, and change your definition of a "productive day" today!
