Hey Busy Bee…How Productive ARE You in That Little Hive of Yours?

“Productivity isn’t about how busy or efficient you are — it’s about how much you accomplish.”

– Chris Bailey, The Productivity Project

And take it from a die-hard busy bee: the difference between being busy and actually accomplishing what you set out to — in a day, a week, a lifetime — can be significant.

Oh, the things I can get done in a day! It would make a real bee’s head spin

For me, the problem isn’t getting stuff done — oh no.

My problem is getting the right stuff done at the right time…for me.

Thankfully, my magic bookstore — Munro’s Books in Victoria, BC — manifested, yet again, the perfect book at the perfect time: The Productivity Project; Accomplishing More By Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy, by Chris Bailey.

Now I must confess (like any busy bee worth her salt), it was the COLOUR of the book that caught my rapidly-roving eye: a stunning turquoise with the word ‘Productivity’ in large white letters.

Yes, that’s right: I judged a book by its cover.
