I would like to give value to my life because life is short. The productive I can be, I believe I will have a positive impact in the world to come.

I agree to what has been stated regarding task accomplishment and getting our respective jobs done to keep moving forward . Also, when we can manage time effectively and efficiently and help our staff to do the same, we have the added benefit of increased pride and accomplishment and reduced stress and feelings of frustration.

I have certain things that have to be done every week. When I do not manage my time well and my productivity suffers, my family loses. I have do lots of work in the evenings and weekends which takes quality and quanity time away from them.

Time management and productivity are extremely important because they are what allows us to accomplish tasks, meeting outcomes and keep projects moving forward.

The more productive we can become productive, the more we will be able to accomplish in the day.

The more productive we can become productive as a team, the more we can accomplish together.

Prioritizing, then doing, what needs to be done in a timely manner. Reprioritizing when necessary, putting first things first depending on your agency, program, & personal mission and values.

Productivity to me means that I am doing my job correctly and to the best of mt ability

I like Jason Womack's definition of productivity which is, "Doing what I said I was going to do, in the time that I promised myself."

For me, being productive is maximizing my time and resources to the best of my ability to serve others.

I feel I am 100% effective when I am physically and mentally exhausted in trying to reach my goals.

I agree with Christopher at the time I am most productive early in the morning. I am 100% focused when I know what I am doing is helping other people.

Christopher Scott wrote

I'm 100 percent effective when I'm able give every ounce of effort that I can to serve and help others. When I'm forcused on outcomes that allow me to accomplish my goals and grow as a leader.

For the times of day that I'm 100 percent productive, I'm productive very early in the morning before 9am, and late at night after 8pm.

Teaching classes, working with the community, staff or members are times when I feel I am productive.

Probably when I am writing, or teaching, or training. But then again, maybe I'm just kidding myself :-)

Christopher Scott wrote

Growth activities I would say is my most productive activity.

Anytime that I take time to:
- Think
- Read
- Learn
- Talk with mentors

These are all items where I know I'm growing as a leader and a person so that I can better serve others.

My biggest time waster is becoming distracted with "small fires" instead concentrating on what started the fire.

Not staying on task. Talking more than necessary: using more words than necessary to get my point across.

Repeating the same thing over and over....

Not staying focused on a particular task.

Christopher Scott wrote

For me, it's wasting time on Facebook & Twitter.

These are web based applications that are not important and not urgent, so I'm working to limit my time on them to a little as possible.

I exercise almost every day. I go home to remind me what is really important in my life.

Kim Bull wrote

Not enough.

Christopher Scott wrote

Every week I spend about 45min - 2hrs doing what Jason calls a, "Weekly Overview."

This is a time where I take time to read over each of my outcomes, projects, tasks, files, and emails folders to see what I'm working on and how I'm doing on them.

This is also an extremely important time for me every single week. It's where I don't actually "do" work, I simply "review" my work.

Ditto Pastor Brian and Christopher.

I just want to be the best I can be and help my staff be the same.

In this economy, a non-profit agency needs to be leaner, meaner, more time efficient and productive than ever.

(!) How to better manage my time

I really want to learn more about how to manage and lead projects in a way that keeps them constantly moving forward in regards of my own time and tasks, and the time and tasks of the people I'm working with.

I also want to make sure that I implement as much as I can to make myself more productive.

I'm hoping to find a few ideas and techniques that I can share with others in my office and with my volunteers to help them manage their lives and work better.
