There is a very big confusion of always saying "I'm very busy" I don't have time for other things, for that reason I am very productive.
Faced with this confusion, it is always necessary to ask how are the results and how do we feel about it? Because suddenly, we are not taking into consideration the priority scale, or we are executing tasks that are not within our competence, or doing some other things.
Have you ever felt that everything you have planned in your personal or work schedule is full of sliders... running and running everywhere, and you go back and forth to end the day exhausted, emotionally and physically worn out, ... but at the same time you feel that you have not made progress in what is really important.
It's always good to ask ourselves what happens when the day ends? Because contrary to what you really should feel when the sunset comes something like: "drained", that is, discharged and fluid, then you are productive because productivity "is never going against yourself". That happens because many times we confuse being without time, against the clock for being so busy with being productive.
The difference is simple "being busy" allows us to drain, to be equivalent, to flow, and being productive expands us in everyday chores. This applies to everything.
If we see that the routine does not leave us time for ourselves, if we arrive at the end of the day without energy, without space for our relationships with our partner, children, family, friends and incidentally, without taking care of our well-being, then, we are not being productive, we are only wearing down our mental, emotional and physical health.
True productivity is not measured in "doing more" but what it adds to our life, to our goals, without ceasing to take care of ourselves on our way.
We must have clarity in our actions and take a daily balance and ask at the end of the day if our way of living is getting closer to more well-being?... Or, just more tired? Because at the end of the day, authentic productivity is the one that only allows us to grow, enjoy and live with purpose.
I deeply love my purpose, to encourage people who are in my personal or professional environment to trust themselves, to recognize their value and achieve their own purposes. I visualize myself reaching an age of more than 70 years, I am still in the sixties, with a full heart, traveling this path, serving life every day, that makes me feel happy, grateful and committed with every step I take.
Words are not enough to give thanks when happiness, which by the way, does not fall for free from the sky, is trained, and that, floods my heart, just as I enjoy in the Sierra Nevada national park in the Andean cordillera,that's the Mirror Peak in Merida, Venezuela. It is located at the fifth and last station of the cable car system, and its altitude is 4,765 meters above sea level.
