Since late Saturday, a nasty cold has been playing games with me and I have not accomplished much.
This morning, the ‘you are not very productive‘ thought popped up.
Why do we obsess on how much we need to do? Circumstances such as being sick slow us down.
Why do we have a hard time accepting it?
It could be an opportunity to catch up on sleep and reading.
Here is a quote from The Common Cold and Productivity Loss by Sandy Smith on Occupational Hazards: "Each cold experienced by an employee causes an average of 8.7 lost work hours, most of which is time the employee is spending at work, miserable and unproductive. A new study examined productivity losses attributed to the common cold and turned up some shocking statistics."
At least this time I had the good judgment to lay low for a couple of days but darn I do feel unproductive.
What about you? Are you running out of Kleenex or maybe you are just laying on the beach in a tropical paradise.
Good day all!
