Fight the Obsession with Constant Productivity

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE NO TIME FOR FUN.⁠ 🙌⁠ Recently, I read an eye-opening book called "Do Nothing" by Celeste Headlee on @Blinkist that talked about how to get away from a life of working too hard (and living too little).⁠ 😓⁠ Mindblowing: Our obsession with being productive and getting "more done" dates back to the Industrial Revolution when people began getting paid *per hour* vs per task/project.⁠ 😮⁠ This is when our attitudes toward time began to change -- including a move toward seeing leisure time as "time wasted."⁠ ⌛⁠ It's no wonder Americans barely ever take a vacation!⁠ 🌴⁠ One suggestion Headlee makes is to keep a daily time log, so you can see where your time is going. From there, you can make improvements and tweak your schedule to look the way you want it.⁠ ✍️⁠ Personally, this is why I got into morning routines years ago. I realized that once I started working I'd get sucked in and it would be hard to stop until I was pretty drained. So, I decided to use my morning as time when I could write (for fun), draw, go for a walk, do yoga, meditate, read -- whatever.⁠ 📚⁠ In my opinion, working "more" does not mean "more" success.⁠ 💪⁠ Actually, I absolutely love what Headlee says in the book: If something isn't helping you to reach your end goal -- whether it has to do with work, travel, fitness, love, life, whatever -- nix it from your schedule. ⁠ 😎⁠ p.s.
