How much productivity is too much productivity? Is our drive to be productive 24/7 be hurting us? Productivity in business is a piece of you, it's not all of you. We all see those videos on YouTube telling you how to increase your productivity. They can be motivational but a lot of times these people are out of control with productivity. Today, I want to talk about what these productivity YouTubers get wrong.
Contrary to what hustle culture will tell you, sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. Sometimes you have to slow down and press pause to even figure out what you're doing. There are times that we need to push through, but there are other times when we just need to take a breather.
Many of us are so productivity prone that we have to step outside of that and realize that free space is a good thing. Free space is creative space! I think we need to differentiate being lazy and embracing free time. Give yourself permission to have that free space in your life. Even small pockets of free and alone time in your day will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get things done!
We need to extend and receive grace for the things that we may not get right. Growing a business is something I do, it's not who I am. As followers of Jesus we have to create space for God to move in our life. And be willing to be interrupted. We are to make a positive impact on the world around us with what we have been given.
