The reason why I have a lot of stress is that I am prone to an over-reliance on my mind, which is a form of over-confidence. If it’s a matter of willpower, my mind can do more than anything to avoid losing my mind. I have no clue where my mind is at, and it’s not even that easy.
I’m talking about your thoughts, not your physical body. In fact, I’m not talking about what you’re eating, and I’m not talking about what you’re wearing, and I’m not talking about your time around other people. My concern is that you’re not doing things that will increase your productivity.
I think that you can be over-confident about your own abilities, but not about your tasks. I think that if you try to do things that are too challenging, you will end up giving up and saying, “Yeah, I can do that.
We know that productivity is a major factor in success. To quote the late author and motivational speaker Dale Carnegie: “You have to be able to go from doing nothing to doing something that is productive.” So when we talk about productivity, what we may be talking about is not so much what youre eating, what youre not wearing, what youre not having a nap in, and what youre not doing around other people.
Not everyone has a hard time doing well. But it’s something that most people are better off doing. It’s something that most people can do themselves. You can do whatever you want, but you don’t have to do it.
Well, sure, you can. But that’s not the point, right? The point is that most of the time you do whatever you want, you’re doing something productive. Maybe you’re doing something productive by reading a book, spending time with your friends, exercising, etc. If you want to get more work done, you’re going to have to do something productive.
Its not productivity, its a bit of a misnomer. The productivity of a person is actually the quality of that person’s work. For instance, a person who can get two thirds of his goals done a week is doing more productive than a person who only gets one third of his goals done a week. A person who can get a third of his goals done a week is getting more productive than a person who only gets a tenth of his goals done a week.
it can be both. The productivity of a person depends a lot on the type of work that they are doing. I once worked with a guy who was great at getting his tasks done but was really horrible at getting work done. He only ever worked on things he was absolutely sure he could get done, and he would get his own work done well, but was really bad at finishing tasks that he had to finish because no one else was working on them.
It’s the same issue with our productivity. We need to get the work done, but we also have to have the people to work with.
