Productivity is what employees generally want. For every want, there is an underlying need that may or may not match that want.
If you only address that want, then you are not addressing the underlying need.
Lots of people say they need to get stuff done, but that is not the true underlying need. These are usually driven by deeper motives, generally relating to need for parental approval (fame, glory, success, achievement, etc.), need for security, and need to eat.
Why do you really want to build a startup? If you're honest with yourself, you'll generally find that your want and need don't match. (And if you are impeccable, and your want and need matches, things tend to go smoother).
