I begin working on Personal Productivity a little over 20 years ago. At the time I need it a lot of help. Over the years of coaching and consulting I have come to identify that there are 2 ways to look at this productivity game.
To this day my game is not to tell you how to do anything, but to work with you into how to make what you do, work better. It is about small changes that produce biggest results.
By definition Personal Productivity will center on you. Most of your projects should be private and you share some with other people. This work great in certain environments. Sadly as the owner or the leader of an organization this does not work. Personal Productivity will get you ahead, but will not help you to get your organization or the organization (or sub organization) that you are leading ahead.
This is where Personal Productivity had fail for many businesses owners and leaders. It failed me too.
I begin studying how to make it work and understood and identify that I was playing the game in the wrong way. I didn’t need more Personal Productivity. I need Organizational Productivity.
By definition Organizational Productivity will be on top of the social fabric of your organization, collaboration, team work and expansion of efforts it is what characterized this.
Think for a moment what do you think your organization needs to be productive. Think on the Social Fabric, a Common Purpose, a Coordinated Effort, Group Trust and Strategic Focus.
Most of the projects on your organization should be open and accessible and by exception some and you share some limited group on a temporarily bases.
It was when I discovered this and begin teaching this to my clients that I understood I need it to research and learned something different. There is still many people that need Personal Productivity in their lives, but there is also a large group of business owners and leaders that Personal Productivity will not do it for them.
That’s how I arrived to Nozbe. I move my projects from OmniFocus to Nozbe. Begin learning. Certified myself as an expert. Use it to teach how can we use the tool to work on a Common Purpose, a Coordinated Effort, Group Trust and Strategic Focus.
The results are simply incredible.
Productivity is all about trust, trusting yourself and trusting the system you have to bring stuff to your attention when it needs it.
That it is true for Personal Productivity as well as for Organizational Productivity. No distinction.
