Now that you have found your way onto the world, enjoy the bright side, knowing that difficulties, too, deepen your wisdom. Your uniqueness is something to be grateful for. You have knowledge no one else can have. Thank all the aspects of your life that have made you-you. That person who is unabashedly stepping forward on their own path with positivity.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone’s mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn’t depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…….)

So much today is about productivity and efficiency. How about boosting compassion and trust? We are caught up in a technological mindset, and it is destroying our lives.

@Alex Kukresh That’s fair. As a philosopher of technology, it is just so difficult to find balance in the “advice” given to people these days about how to live. Have been teaching, recently, Shannon Vallor on the ways in which the “examined life” (e.g. Socrates, Aristotle, Buddhism, Confucianism) has a long tradition of looking at values and virtues that are different than those celebrated today (efficiency, productivity, etc.).

Yes, I agree! Especially for autistic people like me who get burned out more easily (and then getting let go because the boss could see how exhausted I was). They didn’t care about ME personally, but cared a lot more about the fact that I wasn’t able to hold down 2 job positions at the same time. I was just like, “Okay, if you’re only going to have one person run the hotel buffet all by themselves, then at least don’t give them a second job position (cleaning 10 other areas in the hotel after trying to clean everything quickly at the buffet). If workplaces want to ensure food safety, then they have to give their employees enough time to take certain food appliances apart (to clean all of the parts), take all of the fridge and freezer temperatures multiple times a day, and not feel too rushed to take the temperature of the foods before sending them out to the buffet; and having time to properly prepare food for the next day, without being so rushed that you miss important steps (such as writing food labels for each and every food item to tell you the dates on which they are made, and when they expire). That was the last time I ever wanted to work for someone. Because that definitely wasn’t the only workplace that expected me hold down 2 (sometimes 3) job positions at the same time. I wish that businesses would at least admit that they need to hire a janitor; even if it is just a part-time janitor.

@ArtsyMegz_On_Etsy Love your reply. If we look at productivity gains vs. the average worker salary and security over the past 3 decades, we see a growing chasm. That is not just about economic domination, but about a range of values which cannot flourish without another kind of ethics. You deserve better. Workers deserve better. Other values need to make a comeback in how we talk about work (compassion, patience, generosity, humility). Otherwise, it’s just about “productivity” and “getting things done.”

@DH Yes. And employers need to take autism seriously, and not just dismiss the reasons why someone is struggling. If an employer can clearly see that the employee is exhausted almost everyday, throughout most of their shift (and if previous workers had to leave the job position due to high stress, a limited amount of time to complete tasks, and a growing list of tasks to complete (the employer just keeps adding on), they should consider and take seriously the fact that it might not be humanly possible to successfully perform in that job position (or should I say 2 or 3 job positions at the same time).

If you had that insight while watching this video, great! Self awareness is key. However if not, I’d suggest not clicking on the video titled “how to boost productivity” if that’s the opposite of what you need and you’re looking to relax.

@Himal Shrestha I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it yet. The title really just puts me off. It could be a great video for all I know but yeah, the constant push for working hard and being productive in our society puts me in a bad mood to the point of not wanting to watch stuff like this. Is it worth the watch?

Honestly my issues are more baseline: Procrastination and Discipline. I find it extremely hard to start something (even things I know I enjoy) and then I’ll get completely distracted while working after all YouTube is always 1 click away. Don’t even get me started on taking short breaks they never work as with naps once I take one hours just disappear. Finally there’s Uno Mas Syndrome, with anything I enjoy it’s always just one more just one more over and over again.

Well that’s step one. You have identified the problem. Step two now : observe.
I was in the same loop you describe for about 5 years. But trust me, if you observe without judgment and try to find out WHY you procrastinate, you can get to the root of the problem and start fixing it.
For me the first step was to admit i had an addiction to video games and videos. Then i started observing. Why ? And i found that (as with most addictions) i was running from anxiety.
So i got help. From a therapist. And i started to treat myself with more kindness. Being pround to accomplish even a small thing for some « productive » people, because i knew it was a huge thing for me.
And also accepting that it takes time, and that i am not a machine.
Anyway all of that to say, there is hope my friend. You juste need to start small.
No smaller than that.

You are a human. Humans are fucking adaptable. Its like their best card in the deck. But now we have a problem here: We should not only adapt to our world. For true adaptation we need to change our environment to fit us. This change is a decision. Decisions are hard. But with time we learn what decisions are important and which are not.
Idk what exactly you struggle with. And perhaps not even you yourself will ever know. But you can try to find. And often times trying is enough. Serious trying. Like you really were spending some time for that problem. But don’t be harsh. Don’t say: “I did not even want to try it, im such a doofus”, better spend that time to think at least one sentence long about the problem. Be kind to yourself: Your reaction to your problem shows alreaady how important it is to you. You already do your best by observing it. Try and see.

The way he boosted his productivity on messy email inbox was by getting a hand from his assistant? I expected more creative and self-solving idea. Although his main idea inspires us enough to learn, his supporting experience sounds a bit disappointing to me.
