I agree about ruthlessly prioritizing things. The hardest part of that for me is figuring out what I actually care about. Especially when it comes to social engagements. And it's also worth considering the delegate or automate options, to have someone or something else do the work instead of you.
Something I suspect also helps you be productive compared to most people, is getting straight to doing the work versus doing lots of surrounding tasks but not actually doing the work. I know a lot of people that's been so much of their time doing unnecessary planning or prep work instead of the actual work as part of their procrastination.
Yeah, it's hard to be in tune with yourself enough to know when you actually want to do something versus feel like you *should* want to do something. I once had an idea of myself as someone who enjoys opera. Turns out, I don't.
I don't procrastinate much, but I do struggle with focus when it's about anything other than writing. e.g. I'm still useless with GitHub.

Next time I’m tempted to call you productive, I’ll just say you’re ruthless instead;) ❤️ (Also, TEN trains?!?)
I'm finally learning there's more to London than Zone 1!
Very relatable! I always feel the urge to do multiple things as once as if that’s the only way to be “fulfilled”
It's a trap! You can feel just as fulfilled lying in the grass on a sunny day, I promise.
I endorse this message. I suspect doing less would help many people feel more fulfilled in their lives.
Seems contradictory, but very true.
