Peace is a Lie, there is only Productivity
When do you feel most productive? Productivity. That delightful metric by which everyone lives. A loathsome word. Necessary. But loathsome, nonetheless. I feel the most productive at days end.

Rest.
Work. Discipline. Grind. Motivate. Move. You’ve heard all of this before. You don’t need another person telling you to go harder, do more, jump higher.
