Why personal productivity leads to success

Being productive on a personal level is closely tied to achieving success. Defining what success means for oneself is crucial, as it varies from person to person. Once a vision of success is established, a plan must be developed to achieve it. This plan requires a system of time management and productivity. Daily busy work can distract from important tasks, but a good productivity system keeps one focused and on track. Middle managers often get caught up in unimportant work, while senior executives prioritize outcomes and goals. Middle managers who effectively plan and measure their progress tend to advance in their careers.
