Managing Meaning and Manageability in Productivity
When it comes to productivity, balancing meaning and manageability is crucial. At different stages of a project, different factors may hinder progress. During the planning stage, lack of meaning or purpose can impede action, while during the action stage, a lack of structure or clarity on next steps can be a barrier. Being aware of where a project is situated can help address these challenges effectively. Additionally, understanding one's core values and goals can provide the motivation needed to overcome resistance. Self-talk, such as reminding oneself to just get started, can also be helpful to combat negative emotions and procrastination tendencies. Ultimately, finding a balance between meaning and manageability is key to maintaining productivity.
