Stress-free productivity does exist

It is so easy to get used to the daily routines and the usual way in which we do our things. Doing things “as always” allows us to feel comfortable because—right or wrong—we control our own little world.

The first step in mastering the control of your activity is managing your actions, your projects and your calendar. When you want to frame your actions in areas of responsibility to have a clear view of your activity, you do it through your projects. Reading your list of projects and grouping them into focus categories you can draw conclusions. Looking from the bottom up you get an idea on how you are doing at the moment.

A few days ago we sent a survey to all our users to be told which of the improvements we are going to develop are more interesting for them. This way, we will adjust the priorities of our roadmap.

For some reason I don’t quite understand, it seems that creative people are not very fond of seeking greater productivity through better personal organization. There is the idea that to be creative one must not be subject to any rule or system that can stifle the freedom that creativity requires. You must unleash your imagination, intuition, and intellectual curiosity.

You do not manage time. If you have five minutes available, no matter what you do, you will not end up with six.
