Overcoming Our Obsession with Productivity
Our world is obsessed with productivity.
We likely developed our obsession with productivity as a result of the industrial revolution. At least, that’s probably where the seed first sprouted.
As a result of this our focus shifted from producing quality to producing more in a shorter and shorter period of time. But this didn’t just affect the way we work. Over time it’s leached into other areas of life. Now many of us believe that’s “just how life is”.
But is this even a bad thing? Unfortunately, it has been the cause of some major downturns in our overall well-being. Most notably, I believe, is the decline of both our health and relationships.
A productivity mindset is dangerous because there’s no end to it...
