1: Introduction Can you think of an instance when someone deeply harmed you? This can be a friend who broke your trust, a loved one who disappointed you, or a co-worker who undercut your efforts. In these situations, forgiveness may appear to be an impossible task. Have you ever thought about the transformational power of forgiveness? In this blog post, you will learn about the powerful impact forgiveness can have on your live, as well as the great freedom and inner peace it provides. 2: What is Forgiveness Forgiveness is often seen as an act of weakness. However, this is a skill that only the strongest and most mature people possess. Forgiveness can liberate you from a constant anger towards a person and can cure relationships. As Buddha once said: “ Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned .”. You can better understand this quote with an example: Imagine your best friend broke your trust by t...
1) Introduction
2) Definition of productivity
Productivity is a
measure of the efficiency of a person, process, or system in producing output.
It is often expressed as the ratio of output produced to the input of resources
used to produce it, such as time, money, or labor. There is one important myth
we have to get through when it comes to productivity. Productivity is
commonly thought of as the amount of time you spend working. For instance, to
gauge a student's readiness for an exam, you might ask how many hours they've
studied. However, productivity is also influenced by how focussed the student
was while studying. Therefore, productivity is a result of both the time
spent and the level of focus. It's worth noting that we're discussing the
quantity of time spent rather than how it was spent, which is a part of time
management.
3) Definition of time management
Time management on the
other hand, refers to the process of planning your time and prioritizing tasks
to achieve certain goals. It is thus not the quantity of time spent but rather
how you are using that time for which tasks. Therefore, it is a measure of
effectivity rather than efficiency.
4) Key differences between both
Productivity and time
management are related concepts that are often used interchangeably, but they
are not the same thing. Here are the key differences between productivity and
time management:
1. Definition:
While productivity measures time spent and the amount of focus, time management
measures how you spend your time (with a schedule) and your priorities.
2. Efficiency ó Effectivity: While productivity is
about efficiency because it is about how focussed you are to perform the task,
time management is about effectivity because it first sets priorities and makes
a schedule to use your time as good as possible.
5) Balancing productivity and time
management
To put
it all together, you first need to think about time management. It is key
that you first prioritize before creating a schedule and executing it. Think
of it like climbing a ladder to reach a destination, but you don't want to
realize halfway up that you're on the wrong building. So, first, determine your
priorities, then create a schedule based on those priorities and work on
executing it. This approach will help you stay focused and on track towards
your goals.
6) Conclusion
The most important thing I want you to remember is that productivity and time management are closely related but distinct concepts. Productivity is about how well you do stuff, while time management is all about using your time wisely. To nail both, you gotta set priorities, make schedules. Time management involves prioritizing tasks and scheduling them, while productivity involves focusing on the quality of your work and eliminating distractions. By prioritizing your tasks and managing your time effectively, you can increase your productivity and achieve your goals more efficiently. Remember that productivity is not just about working harder or longer hours, but also about working smarter. Try to eliminate distractions, automate repetitive tasks, and take regular breaks to recharge your focus and energy.
7) Your next steps
1. Set priorities:
Write your tasks out on paper or on your pc. Think about which tasks you find
important and want to put more time in. For example, if you notice that you
watch 3 hours of tv each evening, you might do another activity that you find important
for your personal development like reading to do for 30 minutes. (3 minutes)
2. Distraction:
Think about what distracts you the most while working and how you can avoid
those distractions. For example if you are always distracted by each mail coming
in, you might consider turning off notifications and check it every hour. (3
minutes)
