I Didn't Do The Thing Today: On letting go of productivity guilt

Product Information

Occasionally I get an audiobook from the library in a futile attempt to restrict my book purchasing.

There’s the work thing, the catch-up thing, the laundry thing, the creative thing, the exercise thing, the family thing, the thing we don’t want to do, the thing we’ve been putting off (despite it being the most important thing). The book included references to some of those interviews, but focused more on her generalizations from that experience. Even on days when we get a lot done, the thing left undone can leave us feeling guilty, anxious, or disappointed. the author is straight about what this book is, which is why i find reading introductions immensely important.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

in the same way, you might explore news ways of looking at how your spending your time, where you place your focus and most importantly, how you treat yourself and others. This has long been a topic I've felt strongly about- ask my husband how many times I've ranted about how toxic I feel this culture of busyness is- and I felt like I found a lot in here to apply to my life. A remarkable combination: part broadside against our culture of frenetic busyness, part consolation for the days when things don’t go to plan, it’s also the best kind of productivity manual, filled with guidance for actually getting around to more of the things that matter. It’s easily overlooked that our indecision is a decision that keeps us suspended, stuck in limbo, and sometimes opportunities pass us by.It’s a spin on the “Eat the Frog” method popularized by author Brian Tracy, which suggests doing our most dreaded task first to get it out of the way. Do you push yourself to do more and more, but somehow no matter what you accomplish, you still feel disappointed and guilty at the end of the day? It made it read like an academic paper, with the appropriate quote coming after the statement to justify it. There's the work thing, the catch-up thing, the laundry thing, the creative thing, the exercise thing, the family thing, the thing we don't want to do, and the thing we've been putting off, despite it being the most important thing.
