I recently realized my relationship with productivity has become warped, leading to an internal conflict between my sense of self-worth and the value I assign to various activities. From productive tasks to relaxation, I struggle to see beyond immediate output, often equating personal value to productivity levels. This article delves into the complex dynamics between feeling productive, managing time effectively, and recognizing the inherent value in all experiences. It also explores strategies for balancing work, leisure, and mindfulness, helping to reframe perceptions of productivity and mental health.

On sharing things

Creative endeavors can be challenging, feeling like a minefield of self-doubt and external pressures. Internal struggles such as imposter syndrome and the fear of revealing unfinished projects can hinder progress. CBT techniques can help to recognize and counter these thoughts, while embracing diverse experiences can lead to unique solutions. Balancing the act of sharing work with the world, while recognizing the importance of doing it for oneself, can make the process smoother and more fulfilling.
