Why do you want to be productive?

The most important question to ask when you are working on improving your productivity is why do you want to be productive in the first place?

Productivity is about effeciency; getting more done with your time. If you are being more productive at work and have a few extra hours at the end of the day, how will you spend those hours?

I like being productive with my time so that I don’t have to spent all my time at work and can utilise my hours post 7PM on spending time with my wife/ reading books/ advising other startups/ / shitposting on Twitter.

I care about Pareto’ing my life because I want to do more things in a day. We all have the same number of hours. So unless you know why you want to squeese out a few free ones at the end of the day, you won’t focus on building systems that will get you more output from the time spent at work.
