Success Tips To Move fast
A very small percentage of people work really hard for long periods of time, They should not be your standard of success
Everyone wants to get stuff done and they all have different ways to do it but in the end it all boils down to this
The problem with hustle culture watch any type of motivational content and you'll be left with a feeling of immense urgency do it now go hard don't look back everything is important and time is limited, So it's now or never
It's a fake pressure to outwork everybody do more and build your empire and while it has its merits for short bursts in the long run it usually leads to burnout and delusion the problem with hustle culture is it has big diminishing returns
It's unsustainable there's no way you can work 60 plus hours a week and still be a sane individual those who do it have no other choice they live in extreme environments where the only way out is a hard grind respect to them
But that's not the case for most people there are also people who believe the only way to create value is long hours like the case of marissa mayer before she became the ceo of yahoo she was google's 20th employee in an interview with bloomberg
She noted it's possible to work 130 hours a week if you're strategic about when you sleep when you shower and how often you go to the bathroom interesting trade-off young people pretend to love the daily grind maybe it's the media pushing the young hustler persona the go-getter
The truth is though the world is moving really fast and you need to keep up but like we said in the title if you want to move fast you need to go slow we noticed something really interesting lately productivity has lost its meaning this is arguably the first ever recorded to-do list
It's benjamin franklin's take on a productive day and it starts with an interesting question what good shall i do this day but the idea of productivity didn't really kick in until the industrial revolution by definition productivity is a performance measurement of output over inputs
In other words how much work you put in versus how much value you get out of it in the industrial revolution inputs went down massively because now you have a production line instead of manual labor output also skyrocketed because machines don't get tired
But here's the thing increasing productivity in this era means great innovation and new technologies it was an incredibly hard thing to do in december 1931
When henry ford installed the first moving assembly line it reduced the time it took to build a car from 12 hours to 1 hour and 33 minutes but to get there he spent years trying to get the thing going and constantly failed
You see it's way harder to optimize a factory than people yet we treat personal productivity like it's an easy thing to do which requires just a few tricks and apps today productivity is a business in itself and you are the customer you spend more time talking writing and organizing your work than actually doing it
Productivity lost its meaning it now lies on the individual to be more productive to do more to always be on the grind that's how you end up with crazy working hours and packed days
The only way people know how to be more productive is to work faster so they can do more of it if we look back at the definition though people increase the left side without increasing the right one what's the answer for this
