My Relationship With Productivity

A lighthearted look at my relationship with productivity

Today I want to tell you about one relationship that I hold dear. It is a relationship that has been off and on for several years now. A relationship that I want to make work, but let’s just say it’s complicated.

I like to spend time with productivity. When we are getting along things just get done. It is an amazing feeling, working away, checking things off the task list.

The problem is that productivity, likes to stay out late and sleep in. Productivity also likes to skip work sometimes. The times I make a date with productivity and it just does not show up.

There are also the times that productivity just shows up unannounced. Like when I am in the shower, out for a bike ride, or spending time with friends. Productivity just starts running my mind through all the things I could get done.

We make it work though. It is more of a chance that I am in the right spot at the right time to make it work. There have been many times when I have got down with productivity in some inappropriate spots.

There was that time at 9.30 pm sitting on a tour bus heading back to the hotel. It sure was not a comfortable experience, but I sure got productive that time.
