Activity vs Productivity - have you ever confused the two?

Are you very active or very productive?

It is very easy to confuse activity with productivity, and you may feel like you are doing a lot, but in actual fact you are not really getting much done. A good way to measure your productivity is with results. Keep yourself accountable, keep measuring your progress against results - this will allow you to stay productive and not have you wasting your time just being active (busy doing lots of nothing).

The same goes for being focused vs. being serious - these are two different things. A frown on your face doesn't mean you are a focused person, nor does a smile or a happy attitude mean you are careless person who lacks focus. It is important to stay focused, however don't hold back from enjoying what you do - a frown will not get you closer to your goal. Whilst it may make you "look" focused, its not fooling anyone!



The moral of this very short story is, enjoy what you do. Focus with a smile and be productive!
Measure your progress and judge your productivity based on your results.

Good Luck!
