On today’s productivity-focused blog, we emphasize that there is not one specific tool or way to be productive that works for everyone. Learning and implementing a system that works for you may take some time and practice, but can lead to more productive work sessions.

In an article published by online productivity and leadership magazine *99u*, “The 4 Types of Productivity Styles” gives insight on how our methods of productivity are personal and can be synced with our natural inclinations. The following are the four productivity styles:

1. **The Prioritizer**: “A Prioritizer is that guy or gal who will always defer to logical, analytical, fact-based, critical, and realistic thinking.”
2. **The Planner**: “The Planner is the team member who thrives on organized, sequential, planned, and detailed thinking.”
3. **The Arranger**: “An Arranger prefers supportive, expressive, and emotional thinking. They are the ultimate team player and excel at partnering with colleagues to get work done.” 
4. **The Visualizer**: “A Visualizer prefers holistic, intuitive, integrating, and synthesizing thinking. “

The article also shares detailed insight on how each type functions and contributes to the team, while also suggesting a list of productivity tools to help each type succeed. If you are interested in learning more about these productivity styles, we highly recommend checking out the [full article](http://99u.com/articles/42643/the-4-types-of-productivity-styles?utm_campaign=Daily+Blog&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=26398042&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_ybqjBnee0e1ieVO7ZKDU0iNzayVBiqwFgJUbOL-D4MVXTulTP77bmO-VSn8zUB2o-TT4CADVoKHzda50O5iqYdldofA&_hsmi=26398042).
