Don't be busy, be productive

You know, I've used many different project management apps and operating
00:00 --> 00:05

system apps, operating systems for your business.
00:05 --> 00:09

There are certain apps that give the illusion of you being productive,
00:09 --> 00:14

but all they're doing is keeping you busy within that app.
00:14 --> 00:18

So they're not actually making you get your work done.
00:18 --> 00:23

They do at the end of the day, they do because you get stuff done.
00:23 --> 00:27

But more often than not, they're there to do that job,
00:28 --> 00:33

but they're built in such a way to keep you busy rather than actually being
00:33 --> 00:39

being able to keep you productive.
00:39 --> 00:41

There are two different things.
00:41 --> 00:43

Being busy is great.
00:43 --> 00:44

I'm busy. I'm always busy.
00:44 --> 00:46

That's why this video is late.
00:46 --> 00:48

But it doesn't mean I've been busy doing nothing.
00:48 --> 00:51

I haven't been caught up in an app causing me problems,
00:51 --> 00:56

trying to figure out where should I put this?
00:56 --> 00:58

What tag should I use?
00:58 --> 01:00

Are there any dependencies?
01:00 --> 01:02

Although sometimes those are handy.
01:02 --> 01:03

Having a operating system for your business
01:03 --> 01:07

should be so second nature to you, the way you work,
01:07 --> 01:12

the way you are built effectively, the way your company is built,
01:12 --> 01:17

the way your company works, even with other
01:17 --> 01:20

consultants or clients, for instance.
01:20 --> 01:24

So having an app that keeps you productive rather than keeping you busy
01:25 --> 01:30

is something to look out for, because I can name a few like Notion and ClickUp.
01:30 --> 01:36

Those apps are great, but they they are made,
01:36 --> 01:40

not made to make you do this, but they're made in a way
01:40 --> 01:44

they keep you busy in the app rather than making you productive,
01:44 --> 01:49

doing your actual work and the thing that you need to do.
01:49 --> 01:52

Now, some people need those specific apps.
01:53 --> 01:55

I call them more database apps more than anything else in a way.
01:55 --> 02:00

But you're better off trying to find a simplified
02:00 --> 02:04

operating system for your business, an app
02:04 --> 02:08

that can do everything you need it to do
02:08 --> 02:11

to make you productive and not to keep you busy.
02:11 --> 02:15

That's why I'm late, because I've been busy.
02:15 --> 02:21

It's not been causing the problem.
02:21 --> 02:23

I've just been busy. That's why it's late.
02:23 --> 02:26

Anyway, have a great day.
02:26 --> 02:28

Keep it simple. And I'll see you in the next one. Ciao.
02:28 --> 02:30
