With many of us at home right now having a bit more time on our hands, I’m seeing a lot of messaging on social media urging people to spend their time a certain way. To do this new thing or that new project…
I just want to sort of counter and diffuse that train of thought, and encourage anyone out there feeling overwhelmed or discouraged: please… don’t listen to those voices!
Sure, for some people it’s the perfect time for working on something they’ve wanted to for a while – the book, the song, the app, the home renovation – whatever it may be. But for others, it’s also the perfect moment to catch their breath, take care of themselves and to just be… Both sides are productive, important and valid.
Productivity isn’t measured by works.
So please don’t succumb to the expectation of others today or feel like you aren’t “doing” enough. Especially in a time like this, what matters most of all is doing what’s best for you.
