Productive, it’s how every entrepreneur wants to feel. It’s empowering to look at something that has been built or created and say “This was me. I did this. I made this.”
Or to know you are getting things done, and be able to look at your list at the end of the day or week, and see all the items checked off.
Productivity is different for different people, but the feeling is the same, accomplishment. For one person, productivity is creating a presentation or meeting the needs of a specific client. For another, it may mean developing a new vaccine or coming up with a new product.
For you, it may be completely different, but you know the good feeling you get by putting in a productive day.
