The title of this new blog series seems to be a contradiction in termini, meaning there’s an inherent tension in the title itself. How can you possible equate playing RPG’s with productivity?
It all depends on how you view productivity.
To me, productivity doesn’t mean getting as much work done as possible. Or working the maximum amount of hours in a day. Or crossing off as many to do’s as you can.
Productivity to me has everything to do with being effective and efficient. It means accomplishing your goals—whatever these are—with the least amount of resources, including money, time, and energy.
And one of those goals may very well be to become a world class RPG player 🙂 Plus isn’t it more fun to learn productivity hacks with the added flavor of a bold RPG sauce? Just saying.
Anyways, in this brand new blog series, we’ll cover any and all topics that will help you become more productive. The goal isn’t to work harder (spend more hours playing the game), but to be smarter (make brave choices that will advance you to a higher level).
Here’s some of what we will cover:
- What’s the Megaplot? Finding your Goals in Life
