"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. LOVE THEM ANYWAY. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. SUCCEED ANYWAY. The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow. DO GOOD ANYWAY. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY. Big people with even bigger ideas will be shot down by small people with even smaller minds. THINK BIG ANYWAY. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. BE THE UNDERDOG ANYWAY. What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight. BUILD ANYWAY. People really need help but may attack you if you help them. HELP THEM ANYWAY. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY." -Mother Teresa There is no better way to honor life than to strive to become the best verrsionof yourrself. ACTION: What's one action step that you can take "anyway". Here are some ideas: - Offer compassion without correcting, fixing, or proving a point. - Help anonymously so your ego gets nothing out of it. - Do the right thing even when it costs you convenience or status. - Take a visible step toward something you’re afraid to be judged for. - Say the truth without cushioning it to be liked. - Admit what you want instead of pretending you don’t care. - Acknowledge your fear instead of disguising it as logic. - Share an idea before it’s “ready.” - Invest time in a vision that scares you a little. - Speak up in a room where you feel smaller than everyone else. - Bet on yourself when no one else is. - Restart something you quit because it got hard or messy. - Offer support without demanding gratitude. - Stay kind to someone who pushes back or resists help. - Serve without trying to control the outcome. - Do excellent work even if it might go unnoticed. - Lead with integrity when cynicism would be easier. POLL:Which mindset do you most often default to?

This post is a repeat from my early days here, but I needed the ease and the push to get going aaaaand most of you guys haven't seen it, so here you go! :) Productivity is the measure of how effectively we use our time, energy, and resources to achieve desired outcomes. It’s not just about doing more,it’s about doing what matters most with efficiency and balance. It's also about cutting off energy leaks.. (though.....we tend to think that it IS about doing more and often feel "not good enough" when we are not). I would like to get A LOT of stuff done over this weekened but iI have some mental energy leaks getting in the way. Types of Productivity - Economic / Workplace Productivity - Personal Productivity - Employee Productivity - Creative Productivity - Knowledge Productivity - Social Productivity Productivity Insights from Research (and it's not just about discipline) - 🧠Studies show that short, focused work interval (like the 25-minute Pomodoro Technique) boost task completion, sustain focus, and help prevent burnout. This method aligns with our brain’s attention rhythms and even leverages motivation through “small wins”. Yay dopamine!!!! - 🕑Timing breaks strategically matter: taking breaks every ~90 minutes or using patterns like the “75/33” work-rest cycle helps maintain peak performance and combat screen fatigue. BUT, play around with thi - Consider micro-breaks of under 10 minutes (a quick stretch, walk, or just stepping away) can uplift energy levels by around 60% and improve overall well-being. I agree with this BUT at the same time someitmes a work flow interruption really ends up being just that and it can be hard to return. Make this break something that won't completely distract you from your flow. - ******The problem often isn’t discipline----->it’s cognitive overload. Modern productivity tools and multitasking demands can exhaust our brains, making rest and intentionality the smartest productivity strategy... It's not about pushing harder, it's about working smarter.
