Benya, I absolutely loved your article! It's so important to bust the myth that anyone has the same level of productivity all the time and that all you need to do is "hack" your system to keep up with everyone else - when everyone else is already operating at a dangerous levels of productivity. I am still struggling a lot to allow myself unproductive days and to acknowledge that my mental health has a lot to do with lack of productivity. I always feel like I am using my depression an an excuse to slack off, when in reality it is the very cause.

Thank you again for raising awareness.
