Let’s reframe what Productive looks like.

Productive can look like eight hours of sleep.

Productive can look like finally exhaling after holding your breath for three weeks straight.

Productive can look like leaving one unread email and choosing not to spiral about it.

Productive can look like getting out of bed, even if you just moved to the couch.

Productive can look like saying “no” without adding a 300-word apology.

Productive can look like resting before you’re wrecked—not after.

Productive can look like laying on the floor staring at the ceiling while your nervous system says, “Thank you.”
