Productivity is the ability to create useful things (products and services).
Benefit — the necessary benefit, an objective positive result. What meets the needs.
Children do not use the category useful-harmful, preferring to operate with concepts: pleasant-not pleasant, like-dislike. Adults are more guided by useful-unhelpful, necessary-not necessary.
Although, by the way, adult children still continue to use the categories I want or don’t want.
In time management, business and service are considered productive. Emptiness is something that is not productive, that does not correspond to the life goals of a person or the tasks of the working day.
