Bang! Bang! Bang! System Alert: You have been found unproductive!!!
Now, you don't panic. This is the alert going on in my head daily. Nothing..Nothing productive I did for the past week... Leave the productive, nothing I did as per my schedule for the last one week...
No workout...
No tidying up...
Ate junk food...
Missed my target water-intake...
Everything collapsed for the last week! Such an epic unproductive week, it was! Congrats,me!
For the one who stays at home all day, hearing just the sound of clock-ticking,I understand that the world economy won't fall down by being unproductive! And, you may wonder, why do I blabber something about "productivity" , by being a stay-at-home mom. Its just because, an idle lifestyle scares me!
Now, this one week of doing nothing, watered a big guilt in me! As a typical human living in the social networking era, I searched for the solution, not in myself but in the Internet!
"How to be productive?"
Pinterest showed me a lot of productive planners.
WikiHow gave me ideas.
App store suggested me "Productivity" apps.
I saved the planners, read the ideas and downloaded the app. And sat behind in my pajamas, still unproductive, eating the cake frosting. The app in your phone, the reminders it sends for your workout or run, do you think, it will make you to pull up your socks until the inner-you punches you?Never! The so-far-sleeping-inner-me punched me today and I pulled my socks.
It's totally ok. Absolutely fine, to not workout, eat junk, stay lazy, do nothing. But when the guilt of being so, pinch somewhere in you, don't snooze it as you snooze your alarm. Bounce up with all the energy saved during the "did-nothing-phase" and do more.
This works with any context of life. Whenever you are down, don't feel guilt about being down until an instinct shows up in yourself. Once you see an instinct, bounce up higher and higher until the guilt turns to satisfaction, until the satisfaction turns to honor, until the honor turns to pride!
Pinterest, sorry, I don't need your planners, App store, sorry I don't need any of your productivity apps and their notifications, my inner-me has awaken now.
