Productivity challenge: Deciding when to help other people with their projects and when to focus on my own.

For example, let's say I am in the middle of something I am doing for myself and a colleague or friend calls and asks me to help them out with their project. Sometimes, their project actually sounds kind of fun, so I get involved but it ruins the flow on my own work.

Productivity is important to me because I have many streams of interest and want to explore them all, but without sacrificing that human need for completion.

My biggest struggle with productivity is not really productivity problem but rather a motivation problem. If I am motivated and have no fears. I am easily productive. But if I am struggling, and fear the results of my actions (most often irrational fears), then it's super hard to even sit down and do the most basic things.

Hope this helps you! I know your info product will be a good one. You are asking the right questions.

All things held equal, If I'm more productive I win. The world has plenty of challenges, productivity and hard-work is something I can control.

Well to be very frank with you, my productivity challenges are same as most people in the business world, for instance, more outputs for fewer or the same inputs, better value for customers at a competitive price, more efficient procurement of resources, increased standardization etc. For me productivity is important for it gives me a sense of achievement and success. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow puts it, “Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night’s repose.”
