This is a fantastic 10-minute video from Casey Neistat, who breaks down what he calls
the Productivity Matrix, a four-quadrant matrix that helps to analyze daily work habits and procrastination.
Casey's honest evaluation of his own habits is refreshing to hear. Even someone who's wildly successful admits that a large chunk of his day simply doesn't feel productive.
To quote him towards the end of the video, and keep in mind the four quadrants displayed in the image above:
"It feels like I don't get anything done because no matter how much of [the blue, yellow, and red] work I do, it doesn't accumulate. I have nothing to show for it. There's busy work [the blue] and then there's productive work [the green] and the delta between total procrastination [red] and busy work [blue] is mushy. At times busy work [blue] can feel like procrastination [red] ... But productive work [green], this is absolute. This is tangible. This leaves you with something."
Some great, honest insights into how are days are broken down. And if you want a little more on this subject, the articles section below has a piece that takes the same idea into some new territory.
