As always, a real nice essay (musing) by Scott Nesbit. This time it’s about productivity:

Productivity never an end in itself. Productivity is a means to an end. That end is to be able to live your life outside of work. To be able to pursue the interests and passions that grab your attention. Being productive gives you the time and space to enjoy the company of family and friends. Being productive enables you to relax. All without that big clock casting its shadow over you.
