Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:30:38 +0000 http://www.productivescholar.com/?p=86#comment-248 Really interesting post on productivity-I've never thought of this subject in this way. When I'm more productive, I definitely consider myself to be happier. If, on a Saturday, I only do homework for one class (and I have a billion other things to do), I will generally not be as happy as when I complete more work. I definitely agree with your statement that passion is they key factor to earning a diploma, not productivity. What really matters is that you're actually interested in something and invest time in it. At my school, I'm in a wellness class where we talk about the different components of wellness, one of which is intellectually related. I have been exploring this dimension of wellness in the hopes of finding the perfect level of productivity for myself. So far, I feel like I've definitely improved my productivity in regards to studying/homework. I make lists every day about what I need to accomplish, and after finishing everything on my list, I feel good about myself. So, I think productivity can be a very good thing.
