It’s easy to get lost in the daily grind: you get up, go through your morning routine, go to work, maybe take a lunch break, return to work, go home, have dinner, maybe relax with the family. Rinse and repeat for five days a week. It becomes normal, comfortable. It lulls you into a sense of safety and security. You forget to ask if your routine is the best one, although you sometimes wonder. You wonder if it’s the best way. You wonder if it’s the most productive way.
Mike Vardy’s latest workbook, The Productivityist Workbook, asks the same question. The book helps people who want to be more productive instead of do more productive. It’s a key distinction; it’s easy to overlay tools on existing routines and processes under the guise of productivity. It’s another thing entirely to examine those routines and processes before choosing a tool – if one even is needed – that aids those two things.
Vardy understands all this, and the work on Productivityist testifies to it. The Productivityist Workbook attests to it, too. The workbook comprises four sections: idea management, time management, email management, and task management. Each of those sections contains practical advice and actionable exercises; this is not a book filled with out-of-reach or out-of-touch theories. It’s a book for the trenches, for when one is doing the work and trying to do it better or in a more productive manner.
The Productivityist Workbook goes on sale today, so, if you’re interested in being more productive, why not pick up a copy? It’s well worth the money and the read.
