Productivity Problems

Productivity is often a false currency. It makes us feel better off than we actually are. Productivity sees the present moment as an opportunity to maximize future potential.

"I can really get ahead if I get ______ done today." 

Expectations are often the enemy of joy. What I mean is, expectations are often built on the idea that I will only be happy if a certain outcome is accomplished.

But in reality, how often does life actually go according to plan? Cars break down, people disappoint, rains fall. Only by a willingness to allow for unexpected day-to-day change can we enjoy the moment we are currently in.

Keep writing (and keep open hands),
