Bittersweet Productivity

I never plan to be productive. Night after night in the past I’ve said to myself that I will take care of the banal so that I can be productive in the late evening. I never was. Maybe I got a few words on paper, but not enough to consider it a productive night. And that is why I don’t plan to be productive.

I’ve realized that there is no surer way to invite the unexpected into your life than to plan progress. This alone sounds bitter.

But, what do you do when your entire day is filled with banality, when your routine is running your life, when there’s just no inspiration to be productive with?

Plan evenings, or mornings, or afternoons, to be productive, even when there is nothing to be productive with. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the world will throw something at you to stop production.

 

Stay Positive & Sweet, Sweet Productivity
