Some tasty morsels from the Ideamatt self help formulary

A light post this week, I wanted to share a few select formulas for productivity and self help I've been collecting. Hopefully some will resonate. Let's hear yours! -- matt

Event + Response = Outcome

From The Success Principles [1]

Flow = Work + Play

From Psychologists now know what makes people happy

Productivity = What x When

From Nicholas Bate On being productive

Effectiveness = Creativity x Order

From Do it tomorrow

Effectiveness = Knowledge x Focus

From Nick Duffill via Eric Mack

Luck = Preparation + Opportunity

From To Do Doing Done

Productivity = Clarity - Interruptions + Rested

From My Productivity Equation is C - I + R = P. What's Yours?

Productivity = Value / Time (where Value = Impact x Endurance x Essence x Volume)

From What Is Productivity?

Intention + Commitment = Reality

From The Instant Productivity Toolkit

The "Worth It" factor = Effort * Fulfillment * "Necessity/right-thing-to-do factor"

From CrazyBusy

Success = Work + Play + "Keep your mouth shut"

From Albert Einstein

Talent x Relationships = Productivity ("the success formula that never fails")

From Time Power

Life = The people you meet + What you create together

A gem from Networking Tips from the White House

And finally (and appropriately) - from The End:

And, in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
