HOW TO STAY PRODUCTIVE INSIDE and OUT

![balance.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZgySUdBM2xzi6d9SSkQeZsZPNoxigFZ5RHhPKXBdtRKL/balance.jpg) ***Real productivity is one’s ability to balance between the inner and the outer state.***We have our own meaning of what productivity is. In my case, I often tend to gauge my being productive on the outcome of my activities. It’s something I am trained to do with the society I live in. Generally, our effectiveness is measured by looking at our achieved output against our goals. These can include achieving an ideal weight, increased projects, desired income, number of blog followers, meaningful relationships, mastery of certain skills, etc. There are times, however, when certain things in life do not seem to be working well for us; no matter how much hard work we do, no matter how hard we try, it seems things are not done quite right. Women like me are emotional beings; we feel a lot; and sometimes, we cannot even describe clearly what emotions we are plagued with. ***That's when the wonder woman power wanes....*** We become out of balance when we can no longer see ourselves having fun with the activities we do, and our personal growth seems to have become stagnant. These indicate that we are no longer in sync with the natural flow. ***We become stuck to the doing and become mindless from appreciating the unfolding blessing of our working.*** We begin to operate with a drained or a draining battery.

WHEN POWER TAPERS OFF

Thus, we cannot function well in the present moment like the clock that moves yet incorrectly attuned to the time of the day. We feel jammed and overwhelmed; we grumble and cannot focus on the task at hand. There is so much overthinking and worrying while forgetting to be contented and to be calm and not living fully in the present moment. We just want to accomplish tasks and be done with them, so we can jump from one undertaking to another and another and another. We become like an automobile with a magnificent-looking body yet with a leaky radiator. Before it overheats and sets us up and others in danger, let's get it fixed and get that **POWER** back! ![overheat car.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGkPPA3tvCxUkmq1CtJgiHuBDZa17zsw3gEWodboqSpx/overheat%20car.jpg) Source: google image ***In the case again of my clock on my previous post, i replaced it with a new battery and is now functionally operational.*** Previous post: https://steemit.com/story/@lemonchum/my-musing-wonder-woman-in-the-modern-world-1 ![clock art 2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdw9CF8NbNcSyiy7YppxzMLktq8iVA8wy9zXTtfZo3aqA/clock%20art%202.jpg)
