Reframe What You Think Productivity Means for You

You finished the day having done a lot and still feel like you wasted it. Or you got one thing done and feel oddly satisfied. Your current definition of productive is measuring something but it is not obvious what. This surfaces the definition you are actually using, checks what it leaves out, and gives you a revised one worth trying.

Describe what a productive day looks like for you right now, in three to five sentences. Then identify: what is your current definition of productivity actually measuring? What does it leave uncounted? Write a revised definition of productive that includes what the current one misses. End with one thing you would do differently tomorrow if you used the revised definition.
