Welcome to Simply Productive – a blog that helps you become more productive and a better leader.
My name is Paul Gardner and I have a passion for leadership. I and my wife Raewyn are the pastors of a medium sized church in Wellington, New Zealand.
My Passion
I love what I do and it’s great that I can see the results of any improvements I make in my leadership, but one thing I’ve learned since becoming a pastor is that leadership of a basically volunteer, non-profit organisation is not for the fainthearted.
One of the hardest things I’ve found in a role like mine is that people expect you to be everything to everybody. The introduction of “Getting Things Done” (GTD) into my life has allowed me to concentrate my limited time on the things that are actually important.
Why Simply Productive?
This site is about helping you become more productive and a better leader.
I always feel it’s such a waste when people with incredible potential get bogged down doing stuff they simply shouldn’t be doing. So my posts on this site are predominantly about exploring ways to avoid this and to help people “lead” to their full potential
At the same time, I’ll become a better leader as others share their thoughts in the conversations I start.
If you want to join with me in this journey you can follow me by rss feed, by email or through Twitter … and don’t be scared to let me know what you think!
