The Bleeding Edge

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com

Clay at The Growing Life is on to some very thought-provoking ideas.

This is number 3 on his list:

Here’s one of way measuring productivity:

P = W/t

Productivity equals work divided by timeProductivity (P) is work accomplished (W) divided by time (t). We’ve traditionally tried to increase productivity by amping up work output (e.g. Getting Things Done by David Allen). But there’s another means to skyrocketing productivity: leaving work right where it is and decreasing “t” or time (see here). This focus on increasing productivity by decreasing time is, I believe, what differentiates Productivity 2.0 from it predecessor. And, ironically, mechanisms used to decrease time — like automation and personal outsourcing — often increase work while simultaneously decreasing time.

Go read what he has to say, and leave a comment. This is a very interesting set of ideas!
