The goal ain’t work for work sake. The goal is to only work on things you truly care for (what you got your heart in). The goal is purposeful productivity:
To lay forth
Pro+pono in Latin (etymology of ‘purpose‘). The best word linked to ‘purpose’ is actually to “propose” (like proposing to someone to marry them). Purpose means “I declare!“
Thus when it comes to your ‘purpose’ in life, it means:
I declare this worthy of myself, and I will put all my metabolic energy and force into it.
Thus simply put:
Purposeful productivity is *NOT* doing things you don’t consider worthy of yourself.
