You’ve Got it Wrong: ‘Productivity’ is Escapism!
Enjoying the comforts of a small routine, relaxing after a hard day’s work, watching a TV series with a loved one, cooking together, and sleeping plenty. These are all what life is all about.
If you’re reading this, the chances are you’re a driven person and maybe even struggle to relax. I say this because in today’s day and age choosing to read and write in your spare time is slightly against the grain as it’s so easy to go into a dopamine comatose and get absorbed by every available entertainment.
You’re not like most people. Most people just want to be distracted.
You’re different. You’re disciplined. You make ‘progress’ and take steps towards your ‘self-improvement’. Your life is a conscious rebellion against modern societal values and norms.
I can relate…
Not meaning to brag, but I get up at 5:30 every day (here’s a post about how I do it).
I do this to get some uninterrupted time to myself, to do my physio exercises, and to get my mind right. I’ll do some journaling and still manage to get into school way before most to get a head start on the day.
