A Year of Productivity : Everyone should have their own personal life SOP

Since the advent of the knowledge economy, productivity is no longer evaluated based on how long someone works or how many tasks they complete, like in the traditional assembly line model. (Although many companies still use this method for performance reviews.)

What defines “productivity”?

Working twelve hours a day?
Reading a book for eight hours?
Sitting at a desk for six hours?
Constantly keeping yourself busy?

Actually, that’s not the case. Productivity isn’t about how many tasks you accomplish, but about how many valuable tasks you complete. It’s also about whether you maintain the three key elements of productivity while doing so: time, focus, and energy.

Before reading this book, I had gone through related titles such as “Getting Things Done”, “Deep Work”, “The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business”, and The 4-Hour Workweek. The author of this book was also inspired by “Getting Things Done”, which led them to embark on a year-long productivity experiment to find the lifestyle that suits them best and create the greatest value for themselves.
