rsidneysmith @rogue_crayon99 Glad to hear that, Jay. I’m doing well. Getting myself geared up for this topic. 🙂 #prodchat Thu May 04 00:11:55 +0000 2017
nmhouston @rsidneysmith I’m doing well, Ray, how are you? #prodchat Thu May 04 00:12:13 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith A1a: I see a habit as productive because it helps me make progress in some area of my work or personal life. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:12:25 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith A1b: It’s able to create positive outcomes consistency in some aspect of my life. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:12:49 +0000 2017
idrisclay A1: Productive habits IMO should result in desired outcomes. If not then they should be eliminated. #prodchat https://t.co/iSDoRkSIvV Thu May 04 00:13:11 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith @nmhouston I’m doing really well (after my allergy meds finally kicked in gear…in a new area where the pollen is… https://t.co/j6T1h7G2Kd Thu May 04 00:13:26 +0000 2017
nmhouston A1 our brain is designed to create habits to free up mental energy. Productive habits free up energy rather than drain it. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:14:38 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith Q2: List-making is consistently listed (pun intended) as a productive habit. What’re the benefits of making lists?… https://t.co/QehogIp9Y9 Thu May 04 00:15:00 +0000 2017
DrFrankBuck A1: Assuming it’s a good habit, it runs on autopilot and doesn’t feel like “one more thing to do.” #prodchat Thu May 04 00:15:42 +0000 2017
rogue_crayon99 A1 counterpoint: if we’re only concerned with desired outcomes, then this wouldn’t take hold over time #prodchat Thu May 04 00:15:49 +0000 2017
nmhouston @rsidneysmith ah, yes, the beauty of springtime 😉 #prodchat Thu May 04 00:15:56 +0000 2017

ProSourcePrint A2: Brain dump. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:16:19 +0000 2017
rogue_crayon99 A1b “The price of getting what you want is getting something you once wanted…” (Gaiman) #prodchat Thu May 04 00:16:41 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith @nmhouston Yes, I just tasked myself with finding local honey so my body can build up a tolerance. Oh the joys of work travel! Lol #prodchat Thu May 04 00:17:08 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith A2: It externalizes the brain’s need to remember “stuff” so you can focus and clarify what you’re doing presently, mindfully. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:17:45 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith A2: It externalizes the brain’s need to remember “stuff” so you can focus and clarify what you’re doing presently, mindfully. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:17:45 +0000 2017
nmhouston A1 We are probably not aware of some of our most productive habits. What’s habit for one person might not be for another. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:18:15 +0000 2017
ProSourcePrint @rsidneysmith That’s what I said. Brain dump. 🙂 #prodchat Thu May 04 00:18:57 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith Q3: Do you keep a routine (a series of habits)? What type, and how has it made you more productive? #prodchat https://t.co/cR0uLjBRPe Thu May 04 00:20:00 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith @nmhouston I tend to think about this re: productivity corollary for the 80/20 rule for already pretty productive people. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:20:06 +0000 2017

rsidneysmith …those routines. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:22:01 +0000 2017

rsidneysmith @nmhouston Yes, I think there’s a rate of diminishing returns and potential overwhelm if you don’t manage your lists well. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:22:27 +0000 2017
DrFrankBuck A2: I belive in “batching,” and list-making is an example. You focus on identifying the tasks in one batch & then begin execution #prodchat Thu May 04 00:23:38 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith @nmhouston Also, “list” is as diverse as post-its, digital lists, piece of paper, colored rubber bands that relate… https://t.co/KSnCOzxN3a Thu May 04 00:23:41 +0000 2017

idrisclay @rsidneysmith You’re a better man than I am lol #prodchat I try to identify priorities and leave room for the unknown Thu May 04 00:24:03 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith @nmhouston As long as the “list” represents that triggers you want, they can be extremely unique/manageable. #prodchat Thu May 04 00:24:21 +0000 2017
DrFrankBuck A3: I take things like weekly or monthly repeating tasks that can be batched together and make executing the whole thing a routine #prodchat Thu May 04 00:24:49 +0000 2017
rsidneysmith Q4: What are some productive workplace habits to develop? #prodchat https://t.co/lZUogcW7Mb Thu May 04 00:25:00 +0000 2017

rogue_crayon99 @rsidneysmith A9 “Flat Growth” or put another way, that one scene in “Moneyball” that made the most sense. #ProdChat Thu May 04 00:52:11 +0000 2017
