why everything I knew about productivity is wrong… & what’s the way forward

IG: / rowenatsai | Having spent the majority of my conscious life optimizing for productivity, testing new habits, creating all sorts of routines, and even unintentionally turning it into my niche here on Youtube the past couple of years… I’m here to tell you today that I may have had it all wrong. :’)

For those who have been very patiently waiting, thank you 💗 I hope this gives a little glimpse into all the mammoth mindset shifts that have been happening in my little brain. So—what does slow productivity mean to you??
