I went to take a walk. As I usually do after breakfast.
I was listening to Daft Punk and I was reading with my Kobo (started a new book, on LGBT studies - "Beyond the Queer alphabet").
And I was doing 3 things I like at the same time, And was also thinking about my latest buy, Sony In-hear phones and what made me choose that model. And that led me to thinking about my presentation next week.
During that hour, I felt motivated to come back home and get back to work in the presentation.
I started thinking about this "happiness equals productivity" thing on my way back home (I just got back). And I noticed that after doing the those things I enjoy I got motivated to do my "work". Like a rush of motivation, of wanting to show the things I believe in, the things I want to work with, to show the things I like. etcetera.
Actually. When you are happy, work becomes easy. I don't know why. And just got interested in reading about it. It's like that rush of happiness allows your brain to make the connections easily. You suddenly become faster. And ideas start running in your brain. So many that you want to write about them all in your blog but you can't.
My work.
I know that my work will bring me knowledge, that is giving me back old and renewed confidence. Knowledge brings happiness. Actually knowledge is happiness. Knowledge expands your mind (brain connections). Knowledge plus things that make you feel good just because (music, comedy tv shows - this is knowledge too!) make you feel even better. Smarter.
So what I'm going to do after this is not necessarily my "work". I like doing that in the afternoon when the sun starts fading. I'm going to do some more enjoyable things (going to continue reading). And before getting back to it I will give myself the pleasure of a latte and toast while reading some more on social media.
Now to make a long story short.
Doing things that make you happy will make you more productive. And if you want to go fast...relax, go slow and enjoy the process.
