Why productivity hacks don’t work for happiness

Productivity is doing the correct work, not a bunch of work.

Words associated with productivity in the dictionary are creative, generative, and fertile. When connected to our essence, these words are gifts inherent to the human spirit. They are qualities we lose our ability to harness when we become busy, stressed, or disconnected from our intentions and greatest desires.

To be the productive, prolific contributor you are meant to be, where do you need to stop believing you are just a cog in the wheel, a victim of your to-do list, or a lost possibility? What if all of your “responsibilities” were lifted off of you, and you could focus on being creative, generative, and fertile? What would you be excited to produce then?

Your circumstances and titles don’t even need to change for your productivity. Your context can change everything.
