productivity 

The ability to make cake balls while you could be doing something else, especially when they're for people. The world will not judge if you make cake balls. The world cannot judge cake balls or the art of making them.

My productivity today was impeccable.

productivity 

Productivity is an endless cycle. You can never be productive enough.

So what if instead of us humans getting tired, our computers would start saying "Please, I'm tired."?

I wish my productivity was higher, but my computer is so tired, it falls asleep every 5 minutes.

Productivity Czar 

Used in sitcom "The Office". To be assigned to observe co-workers' work activity. Basically a snitch.

I don't have time to see that you all are doing your job, so John, you be the productivity czar.

productivity throttling controls 

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.

Brenda: Why won’t IE open this site?
Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.

The productivity throttling controls won’t allow Firefox to get a critical update that addresses a vulnerability. Now I need to download the update and manually install. What a waste of time.

My workstation is churning away because of having to scan the large email attachment that I received. Because of the productivity throttling controls, I am unable to even switch tabs in my web browser.

Bill: Websense is prohibiting me from downloading a library I need to complete this work.
Me: We’ll let customer wait another day for the deliverable while I bypass the productivity throttling controls by downloading the library at home tonight and supplying to you on a USB tomorrow.

Productivity Addict

A person who is addicted to gadgets, hacks, websites, and tools that could — in theory — make life more productive.

Kevin Rose is such a productivity addict, he owns so many gadgets and reads too many blogs.

productivity bun 

A hairdo done in a hurry that serves a bigger purpose in life than most hairdos: Productivity. The higher the bun the more productive one will be.

Example 1
Coworker 1: Hey I have a questio--
Coworker 2: Not now, I'm in the zone.
Coworker 1 to Coworker 3: (whispers) I should have known, just look at that productivity bun.

Example 2
"Guys can have productivity buns too. My friend Nathaniel has one, and he's a famous DJ."
