Work. Success. Achievements. More work.
Productivity seems to be the norm of our modern lives.
Yet is it really the pillar?
We love to think that yes, indeed, productivity is the ultimate goal we look for, yet we are blind to the truth that lies in front of us.
Productivity is the means to the higher end: harmony, time, and freedom.
Those are the real experiences and treasures of life.
But we trick ourselves.
Being productive means having freedom later in life…
so what about if that time doesn´t come around?
Productivity is not a constant. Is not a race.
Treating your work as the ultimate goal to measure your day isn´t the health or way of life you might be looking for.
What about having time to connect with your family?
What about having time to invite some friends over?
What about having time to treat yourself righteously?
I´ve experienced burnout before due to the lack of moments I gave myself to enjoy the passage of time.
You might have experienced those feelings too.
Feeling down, dizzy, or even unmotivated to continue doing the thing that keeps you rolling.
That´s why I´m changing the way I approach productivity or achieving growth in any activity or moment I do, create or experience.
This one change is making all the difference.
I called it the “Harmony-Based Woking Method”.
In short: it allows anybody to work hard, be smarter, and focus on one task at a time. Ensuring the work is done, and that life can be enjoyed.
HBWM is the method I´ll use for the years to come.
Is the reminder I´ll work hard for what matters, intentionally driven to each step yet I don´t forget to enjoy not only the process but the life it allows me to live.
That´s how you can master productivity too: defining what freedom means to you, and the actual processes you need to have in your life for you to get to that level.
For me, it´s:
Intention
Purpose
Focus Areas
Action Steps
Actually Living
That´s the model on which I base all of my “productivity”.
Being productive is just a feeling. It´ll lead you to achieve more.. so what are you going to do with the free time you get?
A proactive life will give you all the benefits you are looking for, and the good news: you´ll be rightfully productive every step of the way.
Master your productivity now. It´s time to make some real changes.
Peace,

You might be right.
They might be right too.
Just focus on what feels correct to you.
You are the gladiator in your world.
Not them.
