“Do you consider yourself a planner or a doer?”
I guess my answer is “it depends,” but in reality I’m probably more of a doer than a planner. I do plan things, but I find the things I plan take a lot longer to get to implementation versus those that I just start doing.
This article from the ToDoist Blog explores the two types of productivity modes, identifies the pros and cons of each mode, and provides some excellent advice on what people from one mode can learn from the other. The article also (rightly) suggests that the most effective teams are comprised of both Planners and Doers. Finding the right balance makes sure that the team has a defined approach going into the effort while not getting stuck in the planning phase that the benefits of the effort cannot be realized.
How about you: Are you a Planner or a Doer? What stories can you share about your experience with other productivity modes?
