Productivity is 100% personal. As I mentioned in a previous episode, productivity is about being in service to lead/show up in the way that works

Your Productivity Personality Is...
Continual Optimiser
As a continual optimiser; you're not looking for a “final answer”, you're looking to evolve your system over time. You've got confidence in the way you work; and your focus is now on really putting the icing on the cake!
But That's Not All The Story...
As a continual optimiser – you've got a grasp of your systems; or you're in the process of developing what works! However there are other aspects of your profile that affect the way you work! Refer back to your profile breakdown, and you'll see your top three!
Look at your secondary profiles, and read below! 🙂
Perfectionist
Overperformer
Overperformer
Be aware of your over performer tendencies!
You're designing a system that 100% fits you! This can sometimes conflict with the “optimising” part of you – you're attention to detail is gonna be amazing but be careful you don't over engineer!
Commited Creative
Play with your system!
Use your system to experiment and play with the way you work, as your creative flow evolves let your system follow you! But be aware that you're not “tweaking” for the sake of tweaking!
Pondering
Rebel
Rebel
“But I don't have a system”
If this is how you feel right now, good!😁 Your optimising is working, because you're working with you, it's an invisible system that suits you perfectly!
Generative
Producer
Producer
Know where it goes!
You love to produce, and your ability to generate and release things out into the world is going to serve you well, as you make small tweaks to your system to fit your needs!
Controlled
Minimalist
Minimalist
An Optimising Minimalist!
Trying to to do the least possible whilst making small tweaks!
As someone who values adapting things, and also the less things the better! Be really clear on what you want before making any changes
Here's how I know...
You are incredibly adaptable in your business! Your systems pivot and move with you and your evolving needs. If you're early in your business it means that being nimble allows you to adapt to the changing needs. If you're more established, you understand that the way you work is fluid and doesn't stay fixed!
What I Recommend
I won't tell you how to fix your system right here, because effective systems are individualised extensions of your self and your business. But I can give you some tips that tend to work for business owners with similar traits! 🙂
Track & Adapt
Track how you evolve over time! As a continual optimiser you'll go through many iteration of your system, keep a log of how you work and that will help support you!
Business First!
It's super easy to get caught up in the details of the system. Remember to take a step back and look at the bigger picture too! Are the tweaks you're making in service to your business?
Half the Story!

Simplicity Doesn't Mean Less…
Simplicity is often seen as doing less things or taking things away for you to do! It's not quite right!
