A great post. I had two favourite lines:
“Burnout, distress, frustration and fatigue are symptoms that you’re falling off the Way, not a side-effect of true productivity.” I know I use this as an internal indicator that I need to recharge my batteries, or I need a break. To perform as well oiled machines, we need to ensure that we are taking time to recharge our batteries.

Productivity is Defined by Time Spent Not Working
I’ve never heard productivity defined like this, but I like it. I started taking one day off a week several weeks ago and it increased my productivity substantially. However, I sometimes tend to keep working constantly for the six days leading up to it, which can sometimes mean that by days 5 and 6, my productivity is not so great. Time for me to consider shorter breaks during my week as well.

The problem arises when we half-work all of the time. We are kind of working, kind of watching TV, kind of listening to music, etc. It works so much better to work and rest in focused spurts.

It is important to remember how important this present moment is, because it is the only reality we can effect. If you want to accomplish something, it must be done now. Your accomplishment could range from sleep to running a marathon. But if we want to actually achieve those goals we must do it in the now.
