Attention-centred productivity is a healthier mindset for productivity because it's not forcing you to work more with traditional productivity practices on saving time. Instead, you accomplish more of what's important through [[Alignment]]. Instead of the traditional view on productivity where you emphasize accomplishments and output, attention-centred productivity emphasizes prioritization and focus. It's not about doing more at all costs, but doing less of the things that suck your energy and time. Paradoxically, this allows you to do more than you ever could. It is tackling the root issue of how [[Our obsession with productivity comes from a lack of actualized prioritization]]. When your focus is attention productivity, cybernetic or speed related productivity becomes a personal choice, as it is not the core driver of our productivity. Resources that further tap into this are - [[Four Thousand Weeks]] - [[Essentialism]] This is a part of [[My Resources/My MOCs/Slow Productivity]], but does not explicitly dive into the pace or quality of our work. This is about our choice of priorities. ## Benefits - Instead of focusing on what we should be doing, we focus on what we are doing, which lets us be more immersed in the process, increasing our fulfillment and flow - before you increase the time level, focus on process and see if you can make optimizations there - time should be based on what you can afford to put in, use negative feedback to adjust that parameter - Simultaneousness breeds stress due to [[Attention residue]]. - For example, too much overhead causes your attention to manage all these things at once, which then hinders deep work and originality. - Solution: do things sequentially instead - Allows you to [[Define your limits for accomplishments and expectations]] People are obsessed with productivity because they are overwhelmed with things in their life to the point where they do not have the energy and time for the personally important things.
