My Productivity Revolution: A Story of Progress
A summary of the bits and pieces I’ve learned about productivity
In this article I want to share my productivity journey with you: starting from my first job in applied science to my current position as a manager in digitalization & IT.
Starting to navigate the waters of productivity
Since I work in a corporate environment I am flooded with information daily: e-mails, meetings, phone-calls, charts & visualizations, reference material, offers, …
This was not always the case. As I started my first full-time job in applied science, I was tasked with a hand full of industrial research projects. There was a lot of information to work through: the topics were very specific but overall they existed within a similar niche.
There were of course project meetings I had to attend and there were notes to write down. At first, I applied the strategy that had proven itself at university: I wrote down everything that seemed valuable with a pencil in my trusty notebook and did a brief post-processing as soon as I had the chance.
Back then the number of daily e-mails was relatively low — how lucky I was!
