What does it mean to be productive? That’s the question Dustin Wax asks in his Lifehack.org post, There’s More to Productivity Than Time Management - Lifehack.org. He suggests the typical answer might be, “Getting the most done in the least possible time.” Once upon at time, efficiency experts and time-management consultants would have been brought into the workplace with one goal in mind: getting the most work possible out of employees. It was a matter of a good “bottom line”. However, productivity goes far beyond time management. Dustin goes on to say,

“Here’s a different take on what productivity is: You’re being productive when your work is entirely satisfying and fulfilling.”

He touches on some of the qualities that define “entirely satisfying and fulfilling.”

• You grow as a person.
• You enjoy the company of others.
• You are proud of what you’ve completed.
• You feel confident about your abilities.
• You look forward to undertaking the same or similar projects in the future.
• You help others.
• You receive the acclaim of your peers.
