Here you will find some of the greatest quotes about Productivity.
You and the world. Game of Self and Game of Life. Divide it to unite it.

Production is a Left brain Structure (Box). Creativity is a Right brain Flow.
Boxes and Flows are like fire and ice and destroy each other – reflecting the struggle for dominance between the left and right brain. So Production and Creativity are in fight within you. And that’s actually great! We need both!

Generation of ideas is unpredictable. Open time and space for them. Let go. Plant some seeds. Be patient.
Performance is now. Ideas are forever.
People have great ideas while in the shower but rarely while they watch TikTok.
Your best creative ideas are yet to come.

A truly great idea, if you don’t ruin it with boxes later, will steamroll whatever is in your way.
A truly great idea reduces the Boxes in your life as it opens the gates for Intrinsic motivation.
A truly great idea is an explosion that carries its own intuitive oxygen and selectively burns out everything harmful in your life.

Unfinished projects are a loss in the Game of Life but wins in the Game of Self as we prioritize the invisible – Intuition, creativity, curiosity, Meaning.
Celebrating small wins is the stupiest way to abandon your Flows and Hunter mode. You don’t have many battles in life, you have one and it’s an infinite game, it’s never won or lost so there’s nothing to celebrate.
Feeling good and joyful and having fun are great Flows. A targeted celebration is a Box.

Intrinsic motivation is the sum of your Core Flows – Self-love, Unconditional love, Meaning, Responsibility and Growth.
Creativity is a Flow.
Extrinsic motivation depletes all of the dopamine makes Intrinsic motivation impossible!
One solution to everything, isn’t that nice and… rare? Core Flows fix all problems with dopamine depletion and extrinsic motivation.

Pressure is counterproductive.
Self-discipline is a sham concept.
Measuring and structuring your life breaks the only pathway, that really, really matters. The Flow based one.
Intuition needs data points. Which come from Diversity of Experience. Which comes from Chaos and Creativity, not repetitive Execution …
If you’re not creative, you’re not productive.
The discomfort you may be feeling right now is one of the core components of being creative!
Education and cultural Bullshit suppress your creativity by stimulating the non-creative parts of your brain.
Don’t be afraid of the chaotic, uncertain, invisible nature of creativity. It’s how evolution made it to be so it saves on brain resources while feeling magical.
In order to make space, first you need to let go.
