Productivity can’t always be measured by activity. If we are busy doing the wrong things, activity can be unproductive. Wrong activity can even be harmful.
Too much activity can stress us out. It can kill our creativity. It can cause us to spin our wheels in unproductive behavior patterns.
However, lazy days, if used to refresh and renew, can bring us hope, insight, energy, and creativity that will greatly increase our productivity. Learn to listen during your lazy days. Pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that are circulating within you. Some of them are negative and destructive. Resist them and drive them away. Some are healing and revealing. Focus on them and embrace their insights by writing them down and putting them into practice at your first opportunity.
When I follow this advice, my lazy days never make me feel unproductive. It’s just the opposite. I often find that my lazy days to be the most productive days of my life.
