The Most Productive Thing I Did This Week
Somehow I constantly forget this helpful little tip
I’ve been worn out. I find myself stressing over things that I can’t control, and I also find myself being stressed out about being stressed out.
I’ll be honest, this time of year isn’t always the best for me. Daylight savings rolls around and all of a sudden my exposure to the sun during the workweek is the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. Days are getting cloudy and cold, and my mood depletes. And there’s something about these cloudy days that makes me more contemplative. I’ve already been told that I think too much, but I feel like I think even deeper during this time of year. I think about my progress, I think about my future, I think about what I want, but more than ever I think about all the doubts I have in myself.
Busy vs. Productive
One of my personal daily goals is to make sure I’m more ‘productive’ than I am ‘busy’. I often forget that these words carry completely different meanings.
When someone is busy, they are “having a great deal to do” or “keeping themselves occupied”.
When someone is productive, they are “creating large amounts of goods or commodities” or “achieving or producing a significant amount or result”.
