Big picture
| Time period | Development summary | More details |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-1800s | Pre-Industrial era to early industrialization | In this time, personal productivity is limited to manual tools, basic writing instruments, and manuscripts. The focus is on recording information and managing basic tasks. As societies begin to organize themselves more formally, basic systems for managing tasks and information emerge. |
| 1800s - Late 20th century | Industrial Revolution to the Information Age | The rise of factories and the Industrial Revolution influence work structures but dont't immediately impact personal productivity tools. Frederick Taylor's scientific management principles in the early 20th century emphasize efficiency and standardization in the workplace. The introduction of personal organizers like the Filofax and the emergence of personal computers mark a shift toward more organized personal productivity.
