| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks Nice! I went for a run midday and the hills and heat killed me. LOL #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:03:49 +0000 2017 |

| rsidneysmith | What’s a #productivity success you’ve had this or last week? #prodchat https://t.co/x14aYOjEMl | Thu Aug 10 00:05:01 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Please add #prodchat to tweets. Questions will come as Q1, Q2, Q3. Answer A1, A2, A3, for readability! https://t.co/2pXcCppIYl | Thu Aug 10 00:06:01 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | Successfully restarted my task management system and got started digital uncluttering. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:06:11 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A #productivity success this week is composing blog posts, weekly newspaper column, and audio for the remainder of August. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:06:47 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | @ArtGelwicks That should pay big dividends. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:07:44 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | #Productivity Success: I managed to stay away from work for most of my mini-vacation. And my team kept the engines humming! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:08:00 +0000 2017 |

| ArtGelwicks | @DrFrankBuck That’s the hope! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:08:17 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Since I was away, all #prodchat questions have the same image today. FYI. 😛 | Thu Aug 10 00:09:10 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q1: How do you define offline #productivity (as opposed to online productivity)? #prodchat https://t.co/HdUMgcPnCv | Thu Aug 10 00:10:00 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks @DrFrankBuck I’ve just create several new zaps in Zapier and hoping they’ll tie together Evernote, Asa… https://t.co/EXz5ykMwpi | Thu Aug 10 00:10:12 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A1: Offline is anything that doesn’t require a battery or a power cord. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:10:27 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks @DrFrankBuck *created #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:10:32 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A1a: You could make the argument successfully that offline equals no Internet #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:11:31 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: My “offline” #productivity definition is merely that it’s not connected to the Internet, even temporarily. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:11:31 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A1 I would define offline productivity as anything not involving an Internet connection. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:11:47 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks Yeah, that’s my definition. As long as I can airplane mode with it, it’s capable of being “offline.” #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:12:04 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: I’m surprised by how many things in my life need to be in airplane mode in order to get to “offline.” #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:12:58 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | The two biggest factors of “digital offline” are operating system and storage #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:13:21 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: I’ve taken to turning off the Internet router (Google OnHub) when at home or work alone to go offline. Easier than device mgmt.#prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:13:58 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | Ah apologies I’m a bit late #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:14:01 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @OmnipoTony Welcome, Tony! Good to have you…you’re right on time! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:14:26 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | A1 I would assume offline productivity would mean being able to stay productive without the internet #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:14:27 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | @OmnipoTony You’re not late. A wizard always arrives exactly when he intends to. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:14:44 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | @ArtGelwicks I will be using that moving forward. #prodchat https://t.co/WiBWRIuys0 | Thu Aug 10 00:15:31 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith Perfect timing. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:15:47 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | hey #prodchat, sorry I’m late! | Thu Aug 10 00:16:34 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith My phone definitely needs to be on airplane mode and sometimes that’s not enough. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:16:41 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A1: I’d also consider my Kindle as offline #productivity b/c although it has a 3G connection, it’s only to download books to read. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:16:47 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q2: What are the benefits of going offline to be productive? #prodchat https://t.co/InCNE53j33 | Thu Aug 10 00:17:00 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | Being a Chromebook guy, digital offline can be a bit of a struggle. Switches me back to the Windows 10 laptop. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:17:06 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @nmhouston Hi, Natalie! How’re you? Re: lateness, see @ArtGelwicks’ comment earlier in the #prodchat stream. 😉 Welcome! | Thu Aug 10 00:17:16 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A2: Minimizing distractions and encouraging focus. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:17:26 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A2: Minimizing distractions and encouraging focus. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:17:26 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | @nmhouston Another wizard arrives! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:17:46 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A1: any work performed at shop floor, desk work using paper etc #productivity #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:17:58 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: I really find the benefits of being offline for my own #productivity limited. I focus well, so I don’t find it distracting. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:18:11 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: That said, disconnecting from Internet or power and working analog can be very powerful for focus! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:18:35 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | @rsidneysmith @ArtGelwicks I’m doing well, am up in Montreal for a conference this week, & had a few minutes while… https://t.co/h2pgFSpCsv | Thu Aug 10 00:18:37 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2 The biggest benefit that comes to mind is no distractions from online sources such as social media. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:18:49 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @nmhouston @ArtGelwicks My third favorite North Am city! Hope you’re enjoying Montreal and the conference! 😀 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:19:09 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A2 Also limits distractions from email, texts. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:19:40 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith joining late…hello everyone, trust you all are doing great… #productivity #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:19:41 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | @rsidneysmith @ArtGelwicks yes, both have been great so far! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:20:03 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | A2 I think it’s important to be offline for productive especially writing. I need a break from social media etc. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:20:23 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @PG_pmp Hiya, Piyush! Glad you could join us! Enjoy the #prodchat! | Thu Aug 10 00:21:08 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A2: I have found that some of the apps for writing that simulate offline work just as well. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:21:41 +0000 2017 |
| BLGBusiness | A2 – exactly as @DrFrankBuck says. Way less temptation without a computer or device in your face! #prodchat https://t.co/LMebKqGqM9 | Thu Aug 10 00:21:45 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A2 for me going offline helps transition into deep work. Once I’m in good flow, doesn’t matter if I’m online or not. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:21:58 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: I do like the idea of notifications being silenced when working on focused, high value work. It’s “semi-offline.” #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:22:33 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks Examples? #curious #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:22:49 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A2: it depends on kind of task, if performed using any physical tools & being online may distract/delay completion #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:23:20 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A2: I can also see a benefit of going offline as longer battery life if you’re working remotely, say, at a cafe! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:23:29 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A2 offline doesn’t have to mean off-screen, of course — but when it does, I find it refreshing for eyes/nervous system too #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:23:58 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Q3: What are some of the negative #productivity consequences of being offline? #prodchat https://t.co/IMhPwOI5Qn | Thu Aug 10 00:24:01 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | @rsidneysmith Calmly Writer is one of my favorites. Chrome based, clean screen text editor that still has minor online hooks. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:24:12 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @nmhouston Agreed. I do a lot of “offline” capturing using Evernote in handwriting mode (ink notes). #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:24:37 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks Nice! I’ll have to check it out! Thanks! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:24:51 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3 You couldn’t participate in #ProdChat! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:01 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A2 I get a lot of work done on planes because I treat that as an offline space (even if there is wifi service). #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:17 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks It looks similar to the way that the @WordPress mobile apps create a clean writing experience. Love it! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:37 +0000 2017 |
| prodchat | RT @DrFrankBuck: A3 You couldn’t participate in #ProdChat! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:51 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A3: Access to additional information is limited and there’s always something else you need #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:55 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | @rsidneysmith I also like the the iPhone has the do not disturb option as well. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:25:57 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | A3 you could miss something important but besides that I can’t think of any other negatives #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:26:34 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A3: If you’re doing research alongside writing, I find it frustrating when offline to access scholarly online resources. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:26:41 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3 Our greatest access to information is present when we’re online. Going offline makes it seem like it’s 1999. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:27:05 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A3: Also, my dictionary/thesaurus functions are Web-based, so offline means no synonyms or antonyms for my readers! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:27:19 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A3: it will totally depend on the kind of work #productivity #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:27:27 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @PG_pmp Sure. So, name a kind of work (say, planning out a project) and then describe the consequence. 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:28:16 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A3 It can be frustrating to have to set aside things to look up. But there’s utility in that, because then they’re batched #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:28:26 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck And not in the fun way that Prince’s song describes 1999. 😉 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:29:04 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | @DrFrankBuck “Writing like it’s 1999” #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:29:41 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A3 It’s almost as if “offline productivity” is an oxymoron. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:29:41 +0000 2017 |

| rsidneysmith | A3: Most of my apps are Web-based so it really stunts my ability to take a project through its workflow entirely offline. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:30:05 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | @rsidneysmith @DrFrankBuck ha! you beat me with the Prince reference 😉 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:30:28 +0000 2017 |

| rsidneysmith | Q4: How often, or for how long, should you disconnect from being online for your own #productivity? #prodchat https://t.co/QzD9uDsNXx | Thu Aug 10 00:31:00 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | @rsidneysmith I think the productive value of going offline is for chunks of time — an hour, a couple hours, or an… https://t.co/sXphRzJkHW | Thu Aug 10 00:31:58 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A4: I recommend at least 30 minutes whenever someone hits a roadblock. Turn off, walk away, do something else, then return. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:32:01 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A4a: When I’m reading, I like to be offline. I’m most productive reading, or listening to audiobooks, offline. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:32:11 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A4b: So, that’s upwards of two hours per day, minus sleep. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:32:28 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | A4 I usually shoot for 30 minutes because of the @3030App #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:32:51 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | This HuffPo contributor @andrewmerle stays offline for 12 hours per day (8pm-8am): https://t.co/V0s0OZu1PL #productivity #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:33:01 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A4 I don’t know if that there is ever a need to be offline. More of a personal choice… like camping in the wilderness. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:33:23 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @ArtGelwicks Yes, if you feel stuck, physical activity away from screens is a great productive, behavioral intervention. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:33:52 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Who goes camping in the wilderness?! ;-P #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:34:15 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | I can see staying offline when you don’t need to be online. It’s different for each #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:34:27 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | @rsidneysmith @DrFrankBuck Exactly. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:34:38 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A4 getting offline at least 30-60 min before bed is also really helpful for better sleep if you’re stressed #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:35:59 +0000 2017 |
| prodchat | RT @nmhouston: A4 getting offline at least 30-60 min before bed is also really helpful for better sleep if you’re stressed #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:36:13 +0000 2017 |

| PG_pmp | @rsidneysmith A5: softwares like MSOffice which necessarily not required to be stay online are widely used #productivity? #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:44:36 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | I would also like to note that today is National Book Lovers Day! So, go to your library and pick up a physical book, eh? 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:45:08 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | Chrome has some offline versions of their apps such as GMail and Docs. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:45:21 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A5 I also prefer to edit long documents on paper, with colored pen. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:45:53 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6: I know there’s Bullet Journal for physical paper notebook fans. @ArtGelwicks knows more about that. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:46:33 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | @rsidneysmith Bullet Journaling is a great option, or if you’re a grid fan my own Planner X system works well too! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:47:42 +0000 2017 |
| DrFrankBuck | A6 DayTimer, Franklin, and any other paper planner would fit this category. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:48:32 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6a: Several planners out there though: FranklinPlanner, Sketchnoting, Panda Planner, Freedom Journal, Volt, etc. #ProdChat | Thu Aug 10 00:49:03 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A6: GTD can be equally offline as online. Works better for many people to start with analog. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:49:26 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A6b: And, many systems are offline friendly: GTD, ZTD, mind-mapping, Cornell note-taking, etc. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:50:14 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A6 Kanban was originally offline method, and for visual/kinetic types works well with post-its etc. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:50:25 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @nmhouston Yes, @personalkanban can be completely done offline! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:50:48 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | @rsidneysmith Love mind mapping! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:50:52 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A6 really I think most true productivity *methods* work offline. Tools are a different story. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:51:26 +0000 2017 |
| ArtGelwicks | A7: I’ll be disconnecting 30 minutes before bed. Time to start a good habit. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:52:40 +0000 2017 |
| OmnipoTony | A7 for sure, I’m still trying to find the perfect way to do so. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:53:21 +0000 2017 |
| PG_pmp | #prodchat unable to see questions today? | Thu Aug 10 00:53:31 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A7: I’m going to start tracking (#quantifiedself) how much time I spend offline. I’m sure I have the data, but now I must review. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:54:10 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | @PG_pmp Sorry to hear that, Piyush! I’m seeing them…maybe a Twitter issue this morning for you. 🙁 #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:54:39 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | A7a: I’ll add it to my Weekly Review to see whether more offline time equates to greater #productivity overall. That’d be useful. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:55:23 +0000 2017 |
| nmhouston | A7 I’m going to go offline and do some work for the next 2 hours! #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:55:41 +0000 2017 |
| rsidneysmith | Wow! The hour flew right by me. #prodchat | Thu Aug 10 00:56:57 +0000 2017 |
