Low Productivity Days

If you are a procrastinator, then you may be familiar with LPD, or Low Productivity Days. Some LPDs are very frantic and full of “doing” but lacking in getting anything done. Other LPDs are characterized by a total lack of energy. Perhaps your mind can think of things you could be doing, but your body will have none of it. This latter LPD is where I find myself now.

Historically, I would use this LPD lethargy day as a reason to beat myself up. Or I would let myself fall into a panicked depression. But not today! Why not? Well, because of you, dear reader. If I am having an LPD, that probably means that others are, too. Will those others be helped by my guilt? No! Will they be helped by my fear? No! Will they be helped by knowing they are not the only person who feels this way? Perhaps.

There is opportunity hiding behind every challenge. Faith in this notion is my deliverance. The opportunity I have found in my lethargy today is sharing it with you. Now I shall lay on the couch in peace knowing that I have used this couch holiday productively! Besides, guilt-free couch trips go faster. You don’t spend all that energy processing the guilt. In fact, I am going to set a timer. I get to “veg” for 35 minutes. This is going to be awesome!
