"I Didn't Do the Thing Today: Letting Go of Productivity Guilt" by Madeleine Dore

Expanding beyond productivity

In her book, 'I didn't do the thing today, letting go of productivity guilt', Madeline Doar argues that productivity should not be the sole measure of success in our daily lives. While being productive is important, equating it with self-worth often leads to feelings of overwhelm, burnout, dissatisfaction, and inadequacy. Instead, Doar suggests embracing creativity as a more vibrant and rewarding measure for our days. Creativity allows us to approach our tasks differently and recognize that our days rarely unfold in sequential order. By honoring our constant shifts and changes, we can live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
