A Favorite Productivity Tip

Q + A = E

This is a formula I learned in school this last year and I've paid homage to it since. At the work place, on my art and other projects too. 
And I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "I didn't know this guy could Math!?" Indeed, I can. But what does it all mean?


It's a mantra I've adapted to my life and it follows:


Quality plus Acceptance equals Excellence.


Meaning: The quality of work or effort added by the acceptance of which I choose to perform at equals the excellence I wish to reach.


This goes back all the way to 2000 when I began writing music and I realized my quality at the time plus my personal acceptance of knowing the limitations I had at the time equated to the lack of excellence I was wanting. Thus, I began working harder and harder on my craft to bring forth a new level of excellence. However, like most things, I keep on adding to the Quality which meant there needed to be a reexamination of what is expected to be Accepted by the Quality to create a more Excellent product. Thus begins the everlasting loop of how creativity and productivity meld into a love child of head aches.


Lastly, I'm right handed and I've noticed I work better when I work in a counter-clockwise motion rather than clockwise. Being my right hand is dominant. Thus if it is always in motion I'm more productive than using it in an unproductive manner.
