"Focus on being productive instead of
busy." This is a quote by Tim Ferris. There is a difference between
the amount of cost and energy you put into a project and the results you
achieve. An auto repair shop that invested heavily in the latest technology and
equipment can have a particular repair job done on a car that used to take two
weeks to repair, they can have the car repaired in four hours. Because the car
can now be repaired in four hours instead of two weeks your customer will not
have to rent a car for two weeks. They will have a repair done on their car in
a quicker time but the quality of the job would also be much better. Now
if the car repair shop was the ask the customer "how much would you pay
not to have to rent a car? How much more would you pay to get your car back
today instead of in two weeks? How much extra would you pay for a much better
quality job?" Ask yourself, would you be willing to pay for for a car
repair job that was quicker and did a better job? "Productivity is not
just about doing more, It is about creating more with less
work."
"Productivity is never an accident, it
is always the result of a commitment to excellence , intelligent planning and
focused effort." A quote by Paul Meyer. There is an old business saying
that " one should work smarter but not harder." Improving
productivity is about creating a product in less time with a better quality and
less effort and lower cost.
This would amount to being the best in your
field. Meaning that you would have to invest in education and research and
development. It means that you would have to invest in technology and equipment
that would make you more efficient, meaning you would produce a better product
in less time and as a result be more productive. Your cost would be higher for
education and equipment but it would be offset by lower payroll cost to
manufacture your product, since it would take less time to make your product. Since
your time to create your product takes one day instead of fourteen, you can
produce fourteen times the amount of products in the same time period.
That will make each product more efficient to make and cheaper. You can
also charge more for a better product that only takes one day to
manufacture. You charge more for the quick turnaround time, the better
quality and for having the best technology in town.
Henry David Thoreau said, "it's not
enough to be busy. Ants are busy. The question is - What are we busy
about?"
