EP 654: Presence Over Productivity

What this episode covers

In today’s episode, I talk about the concept of the conditioned, optimized, and prepared mind. After all, the practices I talk about here all cultivate these qualities of the mind and nervous system. The thing is, when we measure our success and failure by our productivity, we have to sacrifice presence to do so. (We sit and worry about a deadline or ruminate over a delay and this process moves us away from the present moment.) When we prioritize presence, we create space for ideas to grow and we create a preparedness that positions us favorably for chance and opportunity.
