Why you SHOULDN'T get into Productivity

The last  4 months have been heavy on me

I’ve been desperately juggling more than I can handle

This is why I haven’t been writing  you emails-

I had to take a break.

As you all know In my 5th year of med school

I have always tried to balance schoolwork, this community, and life

However, this year’s school semester has been  tough

It has been one of my greatest trials so far

As the community kept growing,

the pressure to continue providing quality for the community

While also doing my best in my academics and job,

became bigger and bigger.

 I worked super late hours, did long study sessions, and never said no to anything

The build-up of stress and fatigue sent me on a downward trajectory,

both healthwise and productivity-wise

By the time I noticed, it was too late.

I was unhappy, pessimistic, and unmotivated.

Many of us confuse productivity with busting our a** off

We equate working long hours with getting better results

Neglecting rest and our health in the process

But rest is also a part of the productive journey

Our bodies and minds need time to recharge and energize

That 4-month rest was worth every moment of it!

I feel rejuvenated and will be sending you emails weekly as promised

Have you had a similar incident like mine?
