And you know I look at everything through the lens of productivity. But you know this is what I so often find in writing about productivity is you know people want to focus more and people want to have more energy and people want to be more motivated by their work. But and so they try to look forward into the future to find ways to become more productive and more focused and more passion about what they do instead of looking behind and noticing wait. Every time I've been fired up about my work I was you know doing a podcast and maybe I should start a podcast. Every time I've been productive I've been taming distractions or have been on a deadline maybe I should find more deadlines or seek out ways to make my work a bit more threatening. You know every time I've had a ton of energy to bring to my work I've been taking a lot of breaks at work. I've been having a consistent exercise regimen or a meditation regimen maybe I should pick that back up. So yeah like you said we have all these data points but we just need to look back for them it seems weird to kind of look into the past but that's how we lift our lives up to this point and if we want to find a direction and a trajectory that's different from where we are that's more productive that's more focus that's more meaningful. I think that's a great place to start.</p> <p style="font-size: 14px; color: #3E3E3B; text-decoration: none;">I'm sure any route and this is the unmistakable creative Pottasch where you get a window into the stories and insights of the most innovative and creative minds who started movements built thriving businesses written best selling books and created insanely interesting.
