I happen to be going through a very productive time right now. I’m working on a project that I’m very excited about, and the threads are all coming together to create a very satisfying tapestry.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are long stretches of time when I don’t feel very productive at all. I’ll noodle around, trying this or that, but nothing really compelling results.<\/p>\n
I’m wondering what the relationship looks like between productivity and time. Is there a pattern to it? Are these things cyclic? Random? Contingent on the phases of the moon?<\/p>\n
If only we could find a correlation between time-varying productivity and some specific external factor. Maybe we could use that knowledge productively.<\/p>\n
Perhaps, if I knew I was about to enter a fallow period, I could choose that time to go on a relaxing vacation. Or perhaps, if I knew that a firestorm of creative energy was about to burst forth from my brain, I could be ready to make the most of it.<\/p>\n
It’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Maybe I should try to tackle it the next time I’m feeling productive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
