Understanding your productivity style isn't just interesting—it's essential for building systems that actually work for you.

The Optimizer — You're interested in doing things smarter, not harder. You thrive on refining systems and finding efficiencies—always scanning for better tools, shortcuts, and workflows.

The Visionary — You excel at seeing the big picture and mapping out ambitious goals. You work best when you can connect today's tasks to this year's vision, inspiring others with your clarity and ambition.
