For most of my adult life, I’ve been seeking efficiency, productivity, not waste time, as I needed to find the best way to the end. Not sure because I’ve reached to the end or because I realized the journey is the end, I stopped seeking it. Yet, back in my mind, I still have those impulses and have to remind myself not to pursue those impulses. Manifestation of this effort:
- Switching to music instead of podcast that usually I could have learned something.
- Watching movies/TV instead of reading a book on leisure time.
- Spending hours in the kitchen to make homemade food for my family on weekends instead of doing something more productive.
- Spend extra long time stretching, showering, grooming.
- Not joining meetings that I’ve been invited to because I don’t think I’ll add much nor get much.
- Declining more often work invites if I really don’t want to do it.
What non-productive thing you do that your younger self wouldn’t allow it?
