Welcome to Productive Flourishing!
Productive Flourishing is a community for people with the vision to see how the world could be, the smarts to figure out how to make it happen, and the grit to do the work. We call these folks Creative Giants and we’re currently over 66,000 strong.
You don't have to hide out and play small around here. We do productivity different.
People like us spend our days dancing in the void between who we are and who we could be, and gravitate towards entrepreneurship, freelancing, and other ways of being a self-sustaining professional creative, while others fall into leadership positions because of their talent and ability to get things done that others can’t.
You’ll see content here that addresses a wide variety of ways that we can show up in the world – because what our current job is means less than what our strengths and talents are, or the weaknesses we strive to overcome throughout our lives.
The bedrock of our success is a combination of self-mastery and personal effectiveness, so a lot of what we share focuses on how to channel our time, energy, and attention into finishing the stuff that matters.
If this resonates with you, we're glad you found us.
Apparently others dig the content here, too, as it’s been featured in Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and many other places.
A quick note about this “we” business going on. While it’s true that Charlie started Productive Flourishing, it’s taken a village of people to keep up with him and best serve our community.
