2. Why are you on earth if not
to be productive?
When an individual stops being
productive, he loses his relevance and
power of existence

3. Personal productivity is a prove
of healthy self-awareness and
self-management

4. Self management is all about
perspective (focus on the right
things) and control (the ability to
effectively manage all the things
coming at you)

5. Aligning with the times as
individuals for sustainable
competitive advantage – This is age
of skill, result, performance, and productivity!

6. Luck never made a productive
person. Prosperity and growth
come only to individuals that
systematically find and exploit their
potentials

7. Personal productivity is
completing the actions that
move you closer to
accomplishing your goals in a
manner that brings balance and
ease into your life

8. It’s all about completing an
action cycle. Knowing what
your objectives are and the
actions necessary to reach
them

9. The different phases of this
action cycle are:
Setting meaningful and measurable
objectives; Evaluating the objective
into actionable items; Completing
the individual actionable items;
Reviewing and acknowledging your
progress;

10. The productivity cycle allows
you to maintain your sights on
the bigger picture while
continuing forward through the
completion of small tactical
tasks that lead towards your
goals

11. The key to accomplishing your
tasks and reaching your goals is
to schedule them and measure
them

12. Measure your performance per
time. Measurement is the
motivator for improvement
-James A. Belasco

13. Our personal life is
measured by result and
productivity
It is not enough to be busy. The question
is: what are you busy about?

14. Your productivity is an
extension of your personality.
It is one of the ways in which
a person defines himself,
measures his worth and his
humanity

15. Is performance in life a
function of one’s salary?

16. Performance is not a function
of salary; what life offers us
is a function of our
performance

17. Productivity is a habit. You
can disrupt your negative
behaviours, and reinforce
them with productive ones

18. Our degree of effectiveness
in life or at work is a sort of
conditioning and over time, it
puts us in a State of Flow!

19. Flow, is a state of inner
experience in which there is
order in consciousness , and
it takes time to get into a
Flow state

20. What is your true worth in
dollars if offered for sale
going by your level of
productivity?

21. Remember, C. Ronaldo was
sold that much because of
his level of productivity?

22. I don’t think there’s anything
worse than being ordinary –

Productivity

accomplish with strong
purpose)

30. Time management is the
central skill for personal
productivity
Ever productive activity takes place at a central
stage called time

31. Time Wasters Vs Time Log

32. Keep a time log where you write
down when you start an activity and
when you stop it. At the end of the
week, you create a tally so you can
know exactly where your time is
going

33. When you feel your
productivity is lower than
you'd like, raise your
awareness via time logging

34. Identify your Time Wasters
Time is wasted in the same way
everyday, and chiefly by laziness and
procrastination

35. Procrastination is a habit.
People aren't born
procrastinators or hard
workers, it's something you
learn

36. Creating a personal
productivity system and
structure for performance
It is hard to stay on track without rails

37. Positive attitude enhances
personal productivity and
discipline keys you on track
Discipline is the key to mastery of anything -
Anon

performance is not possible
without attitude
Attitude is the bridge between where we are
and where we want to be

themselves, in their skills and
abilities, in their industry and in
what they can do with their life

40. Stop counting your time in
life and start making every
time count

boosts your personality and
image – It is not how you look
but how you are good!

42. Only those who constantly retool
themselves stand a chance of
being relevant in the present age

43. Personal productivity does not
come into being without a
conscious effort

44. Productivity and personal
growth always involves
learning new skills
Learning more and faster is the only true
competitive advantage - Ralph C. Stayer

45. Our business in life is not to get ahead
of others but to get ahead of ourselves
– to break our own records, to outstrip
our yesterday by our today - Steart B.
Johnson

46. Do what you do best and give
away the rest to someone else.
If others can do it, let them
Don’t settle, keep reaching for greater
performance. Winning is not final; there is
still a game tomorrow

47. To be effective you must get
out of you comfort zone!

48. Remember, the most
productive amongst us have it

enough

personal productivity!
