I have always placed a lot of emphasis in being productive. Deriving a lot of worth from my day when I feel that I accomplished ‘a lot.’ Maybe for some a winning day is when you check your To – Do List all off, or when you work till the wee hours submitting a proposal, or turning in an assignment. We all know that feeling of rejoice when you finish.. But does it come at a cost? Can you become obsessed over finishing, and the checking of the ‘next thing’, that you lose your sanity, see relationships start to falter, and become so consumed to your work that you forget to smell the roses? Upon hearing more content from two greatly expressive and conveying writers/podcasters named Ryan Holiday & Case Kenny. I began to look twice at my day to day. Both men come from a perspective of practicality combined with mindfulness. In the sense of- you can be efficient with your work or craft without getting consumed over the result of it. We must not get wired over our tasks, but rather immerse in them. You acquire more knowledge when you are present and not rushed, as well as being able to retain more. You can always be productive, but you can maximize it by being present in your craft more. So next time you see you have a million and one things to get done in the coming week, think to yourself quality over quantity. We aren’t to be on a treadmill every day of our lives! Here are links to Ryan and Case’s sites.
