WHY MORE PLAY
PRODUCTIVE
how to be more productive:
WE ALL KNOW
MAKE LISTS
FOLLOW LISTS
CROSS OFF LISTS
and
GOOD LUCK
WITH THAT
The reality is this:
The average worker is
interrupted every 4-8 minutes
for an average of 8-12 minutes.
Do the math: based on a 50
week year, allowing for
weekends and it adds up to…
a pain in the ass
THAT’S RIGHT-
THERE HASa better way
TO BE
DID YOU KNOW,
DID YOU KNOW,
there are four
t'es of time?
PLANNING
PRODUCTION
PERSONAL
PLAYand
lets you ration time to avoid over committing
PLANNING
is single-focus, get-it-done work time
PRODUCTION
PERSONALis for family,
friends,
and food
is all for you
PLAY
and
PLAYis when you are so in
the moment you can’t
think of anything else
PLAYis when time flies by
(and you don’t care)
PLAYresets your mind
renews your spirit
recharges your
commitment
PLAYis what
makes you
ready to be
productive.
and
with play and productivity…
HERE’ THE TRICK
First, plan the play in your day.
Then plan your work.
it makes being productive
a lot easier.
enough play?
HAVE YOU GOT
