Essential, Meaningful Productivity

Do what you truly need to do—and with the energy the task deserves

Being productive should be about more than checking off a task list, it should be about doing meaningful, essential work. G-Stock Studio/Shutterstock

I don’t care about being efficient and productive just to be a better person, to get more done, or to be more awesome. Cranking out more stuff for productivity’s sake doesn’t interest me the way it used to.

Today, I care about productivity only as it affects my mission.
