断然学习 / Dan Zen Learning (China)

The topic today was about “productivity”, again because this is a very broad topic and what we did for last episode wasn’t nearly scratching the surface.  Tons of people in the world pour their time and effort only to focus on the best productivity hacks.  Just to give you a perspective, the google result of “productivity hack” is 33,600,000 (Oct 13th, 2020) which is more than “Oprah Winfrey” with 25,800,000 search results.  Notes: https://danzenlearning.blogspot.com/2020/10/2-productivity-with-spencer-li-part-2.html

Since I’ve been reading and studying “How can a person (me) be better”, the underline part of productivity really got me thinking. If the output is one’s creation or contribution and the period of time is one’s life. What should be the input? In productivity hacks, what matter is the input which should be 100% determined and/or influenced by the output (goal) and time.  However, when the productivity is put in an uncertain, unspecific and totally unknown subject like life, how do we define the output and time?
