Accelerated changes to work-life routines are leading some people to radically rethink their approach to productivity – and even change the quality of their lives.

If we feel programmed to be productive – in ways, we are. Our cultural obsession with productivity has deep roots.

“The importance accorded to ‘being productive’ goes back several centuries,” says Sally Maitlis, professor of organisational behaviour and leadership at Oxford’s Saïd Business School. “But [particularly] over the last 30 years, [advocates] relentlessly beseeched us to improve our personal productivity, strive to become more efficient and effective and to get more done, faster. Many people have so internalised these values that change is no simple matter.”
