Are You Productive, Or Are You Just Busy?
Completing tasks on autopilot is the most dangerous thing you can do.
I was 27 when I realized I’d wasted my life.
I kept making goals, achieving them, reviewing progress, and setting new goals. But behind all this hustle, what was I trying to achieve? I had no clue!
Completed to-do lists and exhausted journals don’t indicate productivity. They indicate you’ve been busy.
But been busy doing what?
I was merely living life on autopilot, going through the motions my 9-to-5 demanded. There wasn’t any passion, no active zeal to achieve my dream.
My schedule was perpetually packed. There was always something to do. I barely had time to breathe, but all my activities never led me anywhere.
I was stagnating, stuck in a loop. It felt like life was passing me by and I hardly could notice.

If you’re feeling the same, maybe it’s time you took a step back and analyzed the toll your quest for productivity is taking on you. Are you actively working toward a goal, or are you filling up your schedule with tasks that lead nowhere?
