Comments on: Passion vs rationality http://enjoymentland.com/2009/11/02/passion-vs-rationality/ A loosey goosey meditation on making an enjoyable life with a 1-person company Thu, 17 May 2012 03:56:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Tanner Christensen http://enjoymentland.com/2009/11/02/passion-vs-rationality/comment-page-1/#comment-668 Tanner Christensen Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:34:33 +0000 http://enjoymentland.com/?p=715#comment-668 I might refer you to Stefan Sagmeister's 2007/2008 TED talk on the power of time off: http://www.ted.com/talks/stefan_sagmeister_the_power_of_time_off.html Like you: my low productivity time is often spent being stressed and wondering why I can't do something more productive. However, as Stefan explains: low productivity times should be dedicated to things we enjoy (like playing games on Facebook or watching cats eat spaghetti on YouTube), so that our minds can link those "lazy" activities to the things that will ultimately benefit us. Interesting to consider, wouldn't you say? I might refer you to Stefan Sagmeister’s 2007/2008 TED talk on the power of time off: http://www.ted.com/talks/stefan_sagmeister_the_power_of_time_off.html
