Figuring out how to be more productive in a fast-paced and competitive world is cause of stress for many. The stress stems from a misalignment in between our internal needs as human beings and an external environment that follows a technological logic of its own. Changing our perspective to making an inner sense of silence and simplicity primary over the demands of the noisy, external world around us can give us a more real, authentic, and sustainable source of self and agency. And in turn, this leads to a deeper understanding about how to be more productive.
