“Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.” – Franz Kafka.
We all suffer from time to time with being productive because let's face it, we'd rather be in bed napping or hanging out with pals, than doing anything productive. Even though taking breaks and relaxing are healthy habits, an excessive amount of downtime can result in a very unhealthy lifestyle and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
But why is productivity so crucial, and What are its benefits?
Being productive gives you meaning. A sense of purpose in life provides you motivation to get out of bed in the morning, and when you accomplish a goal, your self-esteem increases. People who lack this direction are rarely happy; striving towards something gives you energy, focus, and conviction.
Steps to Productivity
