Perhaps productivity isn’t actually our goal.

We obsess over getting stuff done, rather than getting the right stuff done, and at the right time. We focus so intently on task completion that we lose sight of the work we’re engaged in. We can’t see our options, our history, or our opportunities for collaboration. In the long run, working like this isn’t only counter-productive, it’s anti-productive.

Without context, our workload confines and confounds us. Much like being caught up in a complex hedge maze, it separates us from the landscape of our work and truncates our horizon. We amble aimlessly from one task to the next, unable to see beyond a turn or two ahead. If we were to climb to the top of the garden maze and survey our surroundings, we could see turns, alternative pathways, dead ends and potentially, the path to victory. Similarly, having a panoramic view of our workload helps us understand how we work and make decisions. We can now describe and justify our choices to others.
