The Right Technique

Productivity - Right Technique

We often do things the way we were taught, not because it’s the best way to do it. By keeping you mind open to new ideas and a little amount of research, you could be surprised by the vastly superior and more productive techniques that you can discover, that can boost your productivity and efficiency.

I often see people hitting balls endlessly at the golf driving range with the wrong technique. They are taking Massive Action, but that action is not aligned with their long-term goal of becoming a better golfer. If anything, it is making them worse since it is reinforcing the wrong swing.

Every skill has it’s own special requirements, which is where it is virtually impossible to list out the right techniques for specific skills. Additionally, since we all learn in different ways, the right technique for one person may end up being the wrong technique for someone else.

The important thing to keep in mind, is that before you get into the intensive practice and action phase, you spend adequate time experimenting and trying out different techniques, to find the technique that works the best for you.

Productivity - Being Busy

Being Busy

People get so tied down in getting things done, that they often lose sight of what it the real outcome (or value) of all the things that they are doing. Being Busy is often a sign of a person who has not prioritized his/her activities and is working on low-value repetitive tasks, with little to show in terms of results. There is no virtue in being busy. What matters are your results.
