With new tools in the workplace (such as those inspired by web 2.0) comes a new culture and attitude towards productivity. Leo Babauta takes a look at some of these in his post Productivity 2.0
Here’s the main points from Leo’s post.
- Old School: Crank It Out vs Productivity 2.0: Deep Focus
- Old School: Lots of planning is important vs Productivity 2.0: Just Start
- Old school: Crank through tons of paperwork vs Productivity 2.0: Automate with technology
- Old school: Multi-tasking is productive vs Productivity 2.0: Multi-project and single-task
- Old school: Produce more vs Productivity 2.0: Produce less
- Old School: Be organized vs Productivity 2.0: Tag, archive and search
- Old School: Hierarchy vs Productivity 2.0: Independence, freedom, and collaboration
- Old School: Work longer hours vs Productivity 2.0: Work fewer hours
