aah, yes. The mandate to produce :) I’m definitely feeling some exhaustion with the cult of productivity. Truth is, most of don’t need help doing more, we need help knowing what the right things are to do. In our desperate attempts to “optimize” and “increase efficiency” we spend so little time thinking about where we’re trying to go, where we want to end up. The ultimate “productivity tip” is still focus. That’s what Picasso and Einstein had that so few of us ever experience — that intense focus that comes from a deep passion and interest in the problem you’re solving. Thank for weighing in Ann Kowal Smith :)
