Measuring Personal Productivity

Measuring productivity in knowledge work can be challenging as traditional measurements like hours worked are inadequate. Working longer hours does not necessarily mean being more productive. Instead, it is important to focus on the actual difference we make and the results we achieve. Proxy measures, such as hours worked, do not accurately reflect true productivity. It is essential to shift our attention from these proxies to intentional accomplishment. Reflecting on accomplishments and milestones can help redirect focus and provide a clearer measure of productivity.
