Usually I feel most productive when I am doing real work, aka: manual labor.
Administratively, I’m not gonna lie, I am pretty damned good. But as far as feeling like I have accomplished something, it’s when I’m on the line exerting myself a bit.
There’s also the added bonus of getting to help the guys on the floor who are busting their asses day in and day out. If anyone deserves the help, it’s them.
While I have bouts of feeling productive and accomplished when working on projects, planning, etc., I think the most instant gratification comes when I am performing actual labor.
Whether it’s hauling boards, moving heavy equipment or helping the boys turn a wrench, that feeling when you’re finished and see the tangible result right in front of you really is pretty rewarding.
The old cliche about “a good kind of tired” definitely holds true there.
