Productivity is productive only when you have a healthy balance of work and rest. You deserve rest with guilt when you work hard.

Get out of your comfort zone so you can increase variety in your life. Moderate challenges increase life satisfaction. Variety in life is the key component of happiness.

The brain is meant for movement. Lack of movement in thoughts and your body worsens mental health.

You are what you consume. The more negative information you consume, the more your brain is full of it. Avoid constant negative media.
