at the end of a long day off for democracy day, I felt super productive despite not having done any of the school work left to do for the rest of the week, which made me wonder why i felt that way and what it truly means to be productive, especially in our modern world where everyone looks to optimize their resources and time in particular. does it matter if we are conventionally productive at all? is it more valuable to feel productive than to achieve conventional productivity? i don’t really know… but there are my 2 cents.
