I Produce Therefore I Am

Productivity Bites 1

Are you a frustrated creative genius? Do you have endless amazing ideas which remain cruelly crushed within your cranium? Do you have huge problems even starting stuff, let alone actually finishing things?

This is common and it’s the curse of many imaginative folks. Our minds bombard us with non-stop nonsense from dawn to dusk and then some, along with quite a few potential gems, and thanks Mind, really, I appreciate it! The problem is, it’s almost impossible to focus on one thing long enough to develop projects or get anything worthwhile completed.

So, we’re constantly frustrated, and no-one gets to experience and benefit from the fruits of our fertile imaginations. Dang!

This is where productivity – and anything that can help it happen – comes in. That’s why I consider productivity to be the flipside of creativity. They are our heaven-sent angelic twins and they are only of any use when together.

When creativity and productivity are separated, they are virtually useless. When they’re united, miracles happen.

What I mean is, you can have all the lovely, fluffy, cuddly daydreams you like but as long as you don’t get down to producing something others can get their hands on or glue their eyes to or stick in their ears… that’s all they are: window-glazing or campfire-gazing..

Likewise, you can be a puffin’ powerhouse, chuggin’ away all day, but if what you’re producing is uninspired, or the imaginative ideas aren’t coming, then you might as well be on a production line tightening screws or checking muffins. Pretty unrewarding, to say the least.

What I want to do is combine the two: develop the ability to work steadily and purposefully on something utterly unique in the truest creative spirit. Does that sound interesting? Doesn’t it?! I hope so.

Funnily enough, when we finally get down to producing something that excites us, we often forget how difficult it was to start and just get on with it… and stuff happens. But that’s another story and quite enough for now.

My Productivity Bites will tackle some small aspect of productivity with a useful nugget in there somewhere. Like knowing when to stop.

Finished, see!
