Your character impacts your productivity — A truth no-one talks about
Different people are different. We all know this. I have read and consumed a great deal of content on productivity over the past 10 years. One thing I haven’t seen a lot of is acknowledgement of this simple truth. Your character impacts your productivity. The closest you get is Tiago Forte’s consideration that different people will tend towards one of four archetypes of notetaker. You also get that weird stuff about Wolves and Bears and other such animals. Not a lot. This a truth that no-one talks about. Your character and temperament have a huge impact on your productivity.
Different people are different. We think differently and plan differently. All of us organise differently. We even execute differently. This is going to have a profound impact on what you need to do and on what system you need to employ in order to be at your most effective in work and life.
COPE = Collect. Organise. Plan. Execute.
There are a lot of different ways to approach this. I will look at each of the different elements of a good productivity system, in turn, and suggest ways that your character and temperament might have an impact on this.
