The way we’ve been taught to value and think of productivity very much impacts the way we function in everyday (Western) society. 

 

In this episode, we explore the way we’ve been raised to think of work & productivity, how this has resulted in an immense societal pressure to always be “doing” something, while, ultimately, being “highly productive” is not the #1 thing that truly makes us happy. We explore the role of current-day technology, the #1 existential question the feeling of needing to be "productive" raises in younger generations (leading to an early teenage- and twenties “midlife crisis”), and why we might be wealthier than ever but emotionally feel more poor.

 

Also, we look at the importance of feeling connected to the work that you’re doing, how fear and flow can actually go together, and finish with the 2 things that working from a state of flow requires. 

 

If you find it challenging to work from a state of “flow” or often feel like you’re not “productive enough”,  this episode promises lots of aha!-moments. Also, it might provide you with a deeper insight into what it is that actually triggers this feeling, and what you can do to change it.
