Deep dives
The Evolution of the Roles-Based Approach to Productivity
The roles-based approach to productivity has been a long-standing part of the speaker's personal system. It emerged about 10-15 years ago as they began to think about the concept of productivity and its meaning. The realization that the roles they played in life were the foundation of their system led them to prioritize and categorize these roles into outward-facing, work-related, and inward-facing roles. This approach allows them to focus on what is important and make decisions based on the priorities of these roles. Over time, the roles-based approach has become an integral part of their productivity journey, providing clarity, guiding decision-making, and helping them pursue a more meaningful and intentional life.
