Why we all need it? And why some may need a special one? What about writers, painters, musicians, sculptors and such people? And what about the ones who are into meditation & the search for truth? A case.

Yesterday, I received a request from Alon Novy to
register @ Scribblepost.com…
And I thought…

3. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Why may a writer need a Productivity Network?
And then…

4. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Alon said he may want to learn a writer’s
perspective on productivity…
And that made me smile, because…

5. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
How could I tell Alon that LUCK was not a subject
educated people talked about, in public …
So…

6. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
To compensate for the flaw, I thought, let me offer a
story, instead...
Thus, once upon a time…

7. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
…not too long ago, I too was a sane character and
worked 9 to 6 everyday, 5 days a week…
Then…

8. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
I worked on some ambitious projects in India that
aimed to change things @ grassroots level
forever…
And…

9. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
We were backed by technology & tech-giants & we
worked very hard…
Yet…

10. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Our efforts largely flopped & many of us were then
jobless…
In the meantime…

11. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
A different set of people eradicated Polio out of
India…
Now the big irony…

12. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
India is known for its IT expertise & also seen as
an attractive financial market…
And yet…

13. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Our IT enabled Financial Inclusion & eGovernance
projects failed…
While…

14. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Healthcare, a sector crumbled, constrained &
criticized, achieved the unimaginable…
I wondered how & then, I recalled…

15. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Our daughter was born when India was fighting its
war against Polio…
And…

16. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
I saw they came door-to-door checking if every kid
under 5 got their 2-drops…
They still continue to come, though…

17. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
We couldn’t do such things in our projects and
even if we did, couldn’t do for as long…
Of course…

18. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
The rationalists will provide 20,000 reasons &
excuses. They will write thick reports…
Yet…

19. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
The truth stands that Polio fighters served through
a Productivity Network…
While…

20. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Our efforts were multi-directional…
Let’s talk a few more real-life examples…

21. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
In 2010 our country drew criticism on the way we
handled our readiness for the 19th Commonwealth
Games…
Then…

22. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Only a few months later, same city gets all praises
for a phenomenal Formula One success…
Similarly…

23. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Indian entrepreneurs often complain that they can’t
build World Class companies in India…
Yet…

24. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Mumbai Dabbawalas achieve six-sigma everyday
delivering 200K lunch boxes…
So, what are we getting to…

25. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
The point is: without a Productivity Network few
things can be a success in this world…
Then how come writer’s are an exception…

Well writers won’t be alone; musicians, painters,
sculptors, etc. may also be the same…
To some extent scientists as well, because…

27. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
There is science of things & there is art of things.
One is iteration; the other is intuition…
So, don’t writer’s iterate …

28. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Well, we do, yet its intuition that must dominate.
Our Bestsellers pass through us, they can’t be
made…
Thus…

29. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
We must wait and that waiting is our iteration…
Yes, its crazy, yet that’s the only way…
Plus…

Measure of our success is patience; what the world
calls brewing, we must do within; mostly in
silence…
Hence…

31. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
In silence we must possess a clear objective; carry
clear communication (with ourselves) & perform
clear execution…
Till the time…

32. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
… Immortality consumes us…
& so, we often devise methods to be able to do
that; for example: to make that happen in me…

I try to meditate…
Hence my meditation is my Productivity Network.

34. © Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA
Because for that which is in abstract, one must find
their own unique way.  Thus…
Mind, Thoughts, Meditation.
