PRODUCTIVITY
The Productivity Triangle
a personal story for getting your startup on track
Sick of complicated systems for boosting productivity? So were we. Instead just keep it simple. Focus on Sleep, Lifestyle and Discipline and you’ll see progressive results. I call it the Productivity Triangle.
If the model doesn’t work — change it
In 1914 Henry Ford got interested in productivity, he doubled workers wages and halved their working day. Why? He suspected he would see a massive spike in both motivation and productivity. He saw the model for the working day was broken and changed it.
Over a hundred years later we are still using his model for the working day.
Recently, there has a been a movement to re-evaluate Ford’s model. Hustle, outsourcing and hacking are now firmly part of the entrepreneurial paradigm that is proving ever more popular. As part of this, we have become obsessed with productivity, how to find it, and the complicated systems that promise to deliver it.
