Wow, that sounds very scientific and bold. Actually, I just want to share some thoughts about trying too hard to be productive, and ultimately failing because of it.
Productivity is organization, keeping schedules, carefully planning our lives and leading it, exactly is we planned correct? Well this is part of it, but if you also want to lead an enjoyable life, I think you need to relax and think in broader terms.
I just saw someone on the train playing a car driving game while on his way home. Was he productive? You know what, he probably was. He may not have achieved anything in the time he played, but he rested, enjoyed himself, and this may mean a much higher productivity the next day. This is sort of a “run away today so you can fight another day” attitude.
Another good example is that every 3-4 weeks, I spend about two-three hours customizing my desktop. I find pretty new icons, I change the wallpaper, install some software here and there and I thoroughly enjoy the process. While it may seem to be (an indeed is) quite a waste of time, I believe that overall, it increases my productivity and positivity.
I see productivity as a merger of two things. The first is your actual method, how organized and together you are. This comes from training, getting used to it and other easily (comparatively) learnable things. The other part comes from inside, the more important part, which gives you the drive to do what you need to do. A relaxed, balanced but unorganized person will achieve much more than a jittery, tired ultra organized ninja, at least in the long run.
