The True Meaning Of Productivity

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Productivity leads to success. It leads to growth. It leads to expansion. It leads to a better, creative life.

If it is that powerful, then what does it mean to you? Does it mean doing more things? Does it mean running around? Or does it mean getting busy?

Or does it mean paying attention to what is really happening in your life? What do you think?

To me, productivity is not about doing many things. Productivity is not about running around. It is not about getting busy. It is not about doing nothing. It is not about trying to show up.

Productivity is about you. It is about how you live your life, how you manage your time. It is about paying attention to things that are important to you, that have the power to change your life.

Productivity is about spending quality time with quality people. It is about doing quality work with quality people.

Productivity is about doing more with less. It is about doing more with what you have. It is about saying ‘no’ to what doesn’t matter.

If you want to make a difference in your life, you want to see the world differently, then you must be productive.

How To Stay Relevant In Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Whether you know it or not, you are already relevant. You are not a stranger to what you want. You know what you want to achieve in your life. You know where you want to be, how to get there.

You are relevant when you are growing, when you are adding value to your life. You are relevant when those around you are growing. You are relevant when you know what to do next, when you take responsibility for your life, and for what you want.

You are relevant when your colleagues always want to work with you. Why is that? Because they know you are reliable, that they can depend on you, and that you are going to do what you say you are going to do.

Because you matter to them. So how do we make ourselves relevant, important, in life? You do not need to write a new plan. All you need to do is to reconnect with yourself.

Believe in what you are doing. If what you are doing is not working, do not stay with it. Change it. Or make it better. If not, you are only wasting your time.

Develop yourself. Do more important things than others. Do not shy away from challenging things. When things are challenging, do not abandon them. Take a break. When you have rested, then come back to what you are doing. But do not quit.

Quitting is not the answer, doing is. Inaction is not the answer, action is.

When it comes to moving your life forward, when it comes to moving your career forward, if you want to stay relevant, you need to act. Take real actions. Take as much action as possible. If one does not work, change it. And do not complain about where you are. Do not complain about what is not working.

Complaining doesn’t make anything better. It makes things worse. Instead of complaining, why not use your time to do something meaningful, something that can push you a bit closer to where you are going? Why not?
