But, I agree with baby V that it has made the drive for productivity a little obsessive. I think it helps to ask yourself what it is your are trying to produce or accomplish? If maintaining a healthy self and healthy relationships with loved ones are high on the list, then perhaps leaving all the technology behind and spending some time with those we love, maybe even in the great outdoors, would help to accomplish goals that we tend to put on the back burner.

If you have a "slow" day or "calm" day it provokes this feeling of laziness and lack of productivity. I believe the access of this quick technology has re-programmed our brains; the individual must have control of their time, time cannot have control of them. The goal of the day has become; what can I get done in as short amount of time of possible, rather than sitting and waiting and wondering "what the day has in store for you".
