Why You Aren't Being Productive | Productivity Tips for The Four Tendencies

Do we all have a productive personality? I recently discovered Gretchen Rubin's amazing book The Four Tendencies: and probably, why you aren't being productive or doing the things you want to be. Here's my review of one of my favourite productivity books & my productivity tips on building healthy habits, make your life better, and live a productive lifestyle. I did some acting too... I'll leave that there!

BETTER CREATING
My name is Simon, and I'm finding ways to simplify productivity & creative life.
Exploring productivity, simple living and creative life, the Better Creating YouTube Channel is my project to build a toolkit to help creative people (including me) create more meaningful work, create better content, and live more intentional stress-free lives in the process. Other than doing this, I work as a freelance creative in theatre and film, creating productions.

Google Calendar, Routinery, and Smart Tasks are not enough for me... I need SOMEONE ELSE to keep me accountable to my goals as an Obliger. Just want to normalize this... so that we aren't ashamed of this. The main thing that helps me is owing someone else money (betting on yourself!) which I'm glad he covered a little in this video.

Great video man!! Thanks for taking the time to prepare, post, and share your wisdom!

I definitely have characteristics of both Obliger & rebel. So interesting! Amazing vid as always! 🙂

Well, THAT was fun! I knew I was a Rebel, when it came up as a choice, and I *really* knew when you said the mantra was "You can't make me. And Neither Can I." and I laughed out loud in recognition. So I took the quiz, [only because I felt like it] and what do you know? it came up Rebel, although I'm sure I've got a touch of the Questioner in there, too. Thanks, Simon. You make good videos. I particularly appreciated the wardrobe choices you made for the four types in this one. Cheers!

So it's no surprise I came out as a Rebel. Here's the freaky thing: two days ago I had an opportunity to go do some plein air at a museum and park. I wanted to do it when I had the idea to do it. When it came time to do it, it was like I was wearing concrete boots. I literally had to force myself out the door, looking for ANY excuse to cancel. That aside, NORMALLY I sit around "planning" what I'm going to do until the opportunity to do it has passed. There may be some questioner overlap.

POV: You're a Rebel
Great! Thanks! it might have been a great quiz but I'll never know because you told me to take it
