Yesterday, I received a request from Alon Novy to register @ Scribblepost.com…

And I thought…

Why may a writer need a Productivity Network?

And then…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Alon said he may want to learn a writer’s perspective on productivity…

And that made me smile, because…

How could I tell Alon that LUCK was not a subject educated people talked about, in public …

So…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

To compensate for the flaw, I thought, let me offer a story, instead...

Thus, once upon a time…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

…not too long ago, I too was a sane character and worked 9 to 6 everyday, 5 days a week…

Then…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

I worked on some ambitious projects in India that aimed to change things @ grassroots level forever…

And…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

We were backed by technology & tech-giants & we worked very hard…

Yet…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Our efforts largely flopped & many of us were then jobless…

In the meantime…

A different set of people eradicated Polio out of India…

Now the big irony…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

India is known for its IT expertise & also seen as an attractive financial market…

And yet…

Our IT enabled Financial Inclusion & eGovernance projects failed…

While…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Healthcare, a sector crumbled, constrained & criticized, achieved the unimaginable…

I wondered how & then, I recalled…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Our daughter was born when India was fighting its war against Polio…

And…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

I saw they came door-to-door checking if every kid under 5 got their 2-drops…

They still continue to come, though…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

We couldn’t do such things in our projects and even if we did, couldn’t do for as long…

Of course…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

The rationalists will provide 20,000 reasons & excuses. They will write thick reports…

Yet…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

The truth stands that Polio fighters served through a Productivity Network…

While…

Clear Objective

Clear Communication

Clear Execution

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Our efforts were multi-directional…

Let’s talk a few more real-life examples…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

In 2010 our country drew criticism on the way we handled our readiness for the 19th Commonwealth Games…

Then…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Only a few months later, same city gets all praises for a phenomenal Formula One success…

Similarly…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Indian entrepreneurs often complain that they can’t build World Class companies in India…

Yet…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Mumbai Dabbawalas achieve six-sigma everyday delivering 200K lunch boxes…

So, what are we getting to…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

The point is: without a Productivity Network few things can be a success in this world…

Then how come writer’s are an exception…

Clear Objective

Clear Communication

Clear Execution

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

Well writers won’t be alone; musicians, painters, sculptors, etc. may also be the same…

To some extent scientists as well, because…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

There is science of things & there is art of things. One is iteration; the other is intuition…

So, don’t writer’s iterate …

Well, we do, yet its intuition that must dominate. Our Bestsellers pass through us, they can’t be made…

Thus…

© Puneet Srivastava, November 2015, INDIA

We must wait and that waiting is our iteration…Yes, its crazy, yet that’s the only way…

Plus…

Measure of our success is patience; what the world calls brewing, we must do within; mostly in silence…

Hence…

In silence we must possess a clear objective; carry clear communication (with ourselves) & perform clear execution…

Till the time…

… Immortality consumes us…

& so, we often devise methods to be able to do that; for example: to make that happen in me…

I try to meditate…

Hence my meditation is my Productivity Network.

Because for that which is in abstract, one must find their own unique way. Thus…

Mind, Thoughts, Meditation.

Clear Objective

Clear Communication

Clear Execution

Thank you, Alon Novy for making this story pass through me…

Good Wishes for Scribblepost.com.
