Productivity Is A Lie, So Is GTD, Getting Things Done

After decades of tweaking my approach to productivity and getting things done I have arrived at a conclusion, it is all bullshit. I don’t know whether to feel disturbed or enlightened by this realization.

Morning Reflection on what drives me fear, survival, necessity or possibilities, creation and what might be.

Most, not all, of the majority of what was driving me to be a productive person is all bullshit, FOMO, the fear of missing out.

I know that when it is my time to leave this mortal coil I will not give two shits about whether or not I was productive or not. The question will be did I spend my life well? Did I spend the energy and effort available to me within my body and my kind well? Did I make a dent in the Universe? Did the life I lived matter to someone?

Am I chasing my ego or a higher calling? This of course calls into question whether or not I am full of myself. Am I just like everyone else, flexing my muscles in an effort to make myself look bigger, more important and more powerful? So that I survive the tyranny of approval of others versus living true to my own heart.

This is a fear based intention and not a healthy one at that. Missing out is a huge driver in our world.
