productivity

The aim of your life isn't productivity. Nor is it efficiency.

This isn't a truth you can simply nod at, then proceed to act in direct opposition. Or, perhaps you can, just be willing to accept another truth -- your actions are inconsistent with your beliefs. I'd call that foolishness -- a key ingredient for a frustrating life.

So before you dash off to fashion another to-do list or judge yourself for "wasting too much time," stop and ask yourself -- What race is this that you're running? What is your chief pursuit?

It must be noted -- this post directly stemmed from a "less productive" morning followed by moments of self judgment. Funny how creativity defies productivity.
