Hey Reader,

​

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with yourself for being “unproductive,” I have something to share with you.

It’s a quote from one of my favorite humans, Hank Green (bestselling author, and one of the founders of the beloved “Crash Course” youtube channel).

The quote was recently dropped in John and Hank Green’s new newsletter called “We’re Here,” which is basically a collection of cool things happening on planet earth. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it will satisfy your curiosity for days.

Here’s the quote:

"You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce." -Hank Green

​

What?

Sit with that for a second.

Your joy is something you can produce.

What if producing your own joy is productive?

What if investing in enjoyment of your life could actually improve the quality of your contributions everywhere else?

This quote reminds me, when I’m worrying about whether I’ve been “productive enough,” joy tends to take a back seat.

And I don’t want it to stay there forever.

I don’t want to leave it back there collecting dust.

I want joy to feel nice and comfy in the passenger seat.

I want joy to be a partner in my life, something I can turn to and interact with throughout the different phases of my journey.

How would your life be different if every once in a while, when you’re feeling unproductive, you do something that will produce your own joy instead?

​

Much love,​
