Personal productivity: what it is and what it means

Personal productivity is the set of practices through which an individual professional organizes time, attention and energy to achieve results consistent with their own goals. It is not only about speed of execution but about the choice of what to do and with what quality of attention: a professional can be fast and at the same time not very productive if their most protected hours do not advance the goals that matter.

Distinctive: organizes time, attention and energy
Distinctive: results consistent with their own goals
