Title - Don’t fall into the productivity trap Tags - businesssystems
Parkinson’s Law says that our consumption of a resource expands to meet its supply.
Or, in other words, we use all available resources.
Most people’s response to working too much is to apply productivity hacks.
These techiques may free up some time.
But Parkinson’s Law proves that the extra time just gets filled with more work.
So instead of seeking productivity, seek organisational efficiency.
This is where your resources work in harmony to maximise yield.
Targeted efficiency > blanket productivity.
Plus, your organisation thrives without your presence.
You can achieve this by building systems that allow you to work less.
