I Didn't Do the Thing Today How to Release Productivity Guilt and Embrace the Hidden Value in Our Daily Lives
How to release productivity guilt and embrace the hidden values in our daily lives Madeleine Dore has long felt a pressure to be productive. In the pursuit of getting things done, she tried every way to optimize her day, only to keep falling short and feeling behind. She turned to interviewing hundreds of creative thinkers and experts to find the secret to productivity. What she discovered instead was far more enriching: there is more to value in each day than what we did or didn't do. I DIDN'T DO THE THING TODAY is a reprieve from our doing-obsession. Designed as a companion for the days that go off track, the book's chapters explore the various ways we encounter productivity guilt--including comparison to others, striving for perfection, and our great expectations--to point to how a day doesn't have to be optimized, but simply occupied. When we take away judgement from how moments unfold, we can find our way out of the productivity spiral and step fully into our lives. For anyone who has struggled with worrying about wasted time, felt caught in the busyness trap, or stifled by indecision, I DIDN'T DO THE THING TODAY shares how to take productivity off its pedestal and find more connection, creativity, and curiosity in its place.
