#Productivity

[psilo-vibin]

I'm I've been a commuist for years now, and disabled my whole life. I've haven't done great in school, and I've only ever had one longish term job that was years ago. I completely agree with this, but even still, I feel guilty and stressed most of the time for not being productive enough. I think some of it is because with my disorders (ADHD Autism, Depression, I have to be constantly pushing myself to get anything done, and often times nothing gets done anyways, but I also think a lot of is just my brain being trained this way by the capitalist system, and it's ableism. I know logically that being productive doesn't as much as they say and that my life is the way it is because of things out of my control, but it's still a feeling that I can't shake. I hope I'm not the only person who feels the same way.

you don't have to be productive for your life to matter; you have inherent worth simply by being alive. your productivity also doesn't determine if you're a good or bad person; you are more than what capitalism expects you to be.

you are an entire person with feelings, dreams, thoughts, wants, needs, things you enjoy, values... that matters a lot more than working in any capacity - as a job, at school, at home... you're just so much more significant than that.

Café hopping on a cloudy weekend day.

Savoring my full weekend off & tackling some research-related work that I’m getting involved in now that I’m halfway through intern year.

1. Read through project proposals & pick 1 (2, perhaps?) to get involved in

2. Start reading articles for lit review, perform another search of the literature, & start outlining lit review

3. Wrap up initial stage of QI project & submit first steps of implementation plan

Artistic productivity is the capacity for being voluntarily involuntary.

I cannot emphasize enough, get enough sleep! Once your sleep process gets mucked up, it is really hard to get it back. People who sleep well, just live better.

what my finance mentor, who manages a billion-dollar portfolio sent me this morning

I’m going to start sharing the resources he’s been sharing with me. You can find everything on my pinned index post, under “Mentor recommendations.”

Looking at the syllabi and schedules for my classes as if I hadn't actively chosen them.

Classes start this week, and I refuse to accept the consequences of my actions!

Remember the Spotlight Effect. Everyone believes everyone is watching, but they are always just hyperfocused on themselves.

why should you solo date?

self-discovery: spending time alone allows you to get to know yourself better. you can explore your interests, preferences, and thoughts without external influences.

boosted confidence: doing things on your own can build your confidence and independence. it shows that you can enjoy your own company and handle situations without relying on others.

for example, imagine you are planning and executing a solo travel adventure. it will require you to make various decisions, from choosing destinations to managing your itinerary. this practice can enhance your confidence in making choices independently.

relaxation and mindfulness: solo dates give you the chance to relax and be present in the moment. you can enjoy activities at your own pace without worrying about anyone else’s schedule or preferences.

personal growth: taking yourself out on a date can be a form of self-love and personal growth. it encourages you to prioritize your own happiness and well-being.

flexibility: when you’re alone, you have the freedom to do exactly what you want, when you want. you can change plans on a whim without needing to consider anyone else’s desires.

creativity and inspiration: solo time can spark creativity and inspiration. without distractions, you might find new ideas or solutions to problems that have been on your mind.

stress relief: taking a break from social interactions and responsibilities can reduce stress. it’s a chance to recharge and focus on your own needs.

enhanced appreciation: spending time alone can help you appreciate your relationships more. it gives you a chance to miss your loved ones and value the time you spend with them.

you can participate in most everything on a solo-date. whether it’s going to a café, visiting a museum, or simply taking a walk in the park, it can be a fulfilling experience. some of my favourite solo date activities include going to the cinema, visiting the farmers market, and reading at the park.

definitely always use your head when deciding where to solo date. avoid remote/risking hiking trails, bars and nightclubs, and large social events (festivals).

happy solo dating!

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a new hair cut, do your nails, take care of your skin, brush your teeth, drink water, eat foods that give you energy. get strong, stop looking sloppy. when you feel good, you do good. invest in yourself.

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up
