Today I want to talk about productivity and the seemingly kind of dark place that it came from.

So get excited because this is tiny leaps. Big changes. This is Tiny Leaps.

Big Changes.

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, big changes where I share simple ideas you can use to improve your life in under 15 minutes.

My name is Greg Klunis and I recently watched an amazing video.

Now what I do with each of the resources that I talk about on this show is I link it in the

description so if you're interested once you're done with this

episode I've got the video linked up I highly highly recommend it the video is

from a YouTube channel called Wisecrack they do philosophy breakdowns and a number of other things that might be of interest to those of you who are who just like thinking about things.

This particular video was on productivity and what they did was they broke down the history of

productivity why is it that our society is so obsessed with productivity.

This is a question I've been asking for many years.

It's something that, of course, I share productivity advice, I share the tools that I use and

things like the Pomodora technique and so and so forth like these are really really core to this podcast and to pretty much all of my contemporaries.

Anyone who is in this space who is actively trying

to help others improve themselves

focuses in some way on the productivity question.

But in the back of my mind, I've always wondered,

how is it that productivity became such an important part of our society?

It's one thing for individual people to choose to sort of pursue this path of trying to get the most done in the shortest window of time, but how is it that that is a widespread feeling even amongst those who don't follow any of

the advice or podcasts or anything like that. The people who aren't necessarily

paying attention they still know basic time management they still know basic time management.
