Productivity’s Bad Reputation
What do you think of when you hear the word "productivity?"
For many, productivity gets a bad reputation. It just sounds "icky." It's a buzz word we all use to promote our hustle culture. There's a time and place for hustle, but I'm here to share that the hustle (except for my favorite 70's disco) is not sustainable long term.
So instead, I've recently started to talk about "healthy productivity."
In today's episode, I'm defining "healthy productivity" and sharing what it feels like. No bad reputation here! (And with that, I'm now listening to Taylor Swift's Reputation album...love.).
Healthy Productivity looks and feels like...
Not feeling addicted to working
Accomplishing your intentional focus
The tasks you did move your work forward so you know it was the right intention (even if it fails or you learn something)
You find internal gratitude and excitement for what you’re doing vs. seeking applause or praise to stay motivated
You come up with new ideas for improving the work or doing it different or more efficiently. You keep innovating and continuously improving
You’re excited when you sit down to work
You feel pulled or drawn to the work
If you don’t feel these things..Unhealthy Productivity may be a result of...
Alignment issues - Is this the right work right now
Values issue - Is this counter to my ethics, morals, or maybe I don't understand or agree with the "why" behind the work
Tired or burned out and need a break or space from the work
Pushed to the work, no internal motivation
Too much work and your energy is spread too thin
