How productivity makes us feel good

Productivity provides you with purpose
Having intention in your own life gives you reasons to get up daily, and once you reach a goal that your self-esteem rockets. Striving towards something gives you focus, energy and certainty; people who lack this direction are infrequently satisfied.

Productivity helps you grow

Successful men and women are always pushing and challenging themselves, developing their skills and notifying a more well rounded way of tasks and interactions. If you should be searching for a path that is always dancing, you are always growing — even in the event you fail to feel it at the moment.

Productivity Raises your mood.

Exercise floods your body with feel-good endorphins, to the degree that many view regular exercise works like a type of medication. Whether physical or psychological — assessing off your to-do list or going to the gym — the much more productive you are, the more motivated you have a tendency to feel. But of course, quality remainder ensures you maintain that balance healthy.
