Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Our approach to productivity is broken. The common principles and tools often improve the numbers, sure - but the numbers don't tell the full story. Many have mastered the mechanics of productivity yet feel hollow in their success. The ceaseless pressure for endless growth, for maximizing every minute, for commodifying every ounce of energy and time - it's crushing. It feeds a voice of panicked stress that doesn't quiet when the clock strikes five. There has to be a better way to bring work and life into balance than forcing them further apart.Thankfully, feeling stuck isn't the same as being stuck. We can experiment with new ways of working - ways that reconnect our professional ambitions with our human needs, our struggles and strengths, our desire for meaning. If you're a professional or creative who's tired of the culture of constant optimization, who values structure but craves depth, who's reached a stage where "getting things done" is no longer enough - Productiveness offers a way forward.Productiveness reclaims what it means to be productive in a world that confuses busyness with value. Where productivity has become a relentless pursuit of quantity, productiveness restores balance between quantity and quality - between output and outcome, doing and being.Drawing on a lifetime of curiosity and practice in time management and creative focus, Mike Vardy explores nine enduring elements of productiveness - humanness, grace, prudence, cadence, nuance, tolerance, efficacy, trust, and will - principles that help readers reorient their relationship with time and attention. Through reflective essays and grounded practices, Vardy offers a path toward wholeness in work and in life.Productiveness isn't a manual for managing time - it's an invitation to partner with it. A guide to rediscover the art of being productive without losing your humanity in the process.
