Although there is an abundance of literature tackling productivity at an organisational level, there is little about guidance for the modern-day Filipino professional on individual productivity in the workplace. Productivity is measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input. After we subtract eight hours for sleep, two hours for exercise and two hours for down-time, input in this regard is confined to 12 hours a day. It is also worth stating that eating into sleep and exercise or down-time can be detrimental to productivity over the long-term with the dreaded ‘burnout’ becoming a real possibility. Hence, we must make the most of the 12 hours a day that we can dedicate to our job.
