Productivity does not usually cause unhappiness. It is unproductive times that give us the most problems. I know this sounds strange, yet it is true.
When we are productive, we are doing something, the time is moving by, we feel good because we are making good progress, and we usually work as part of a team.
When we are unproductive, everyone is sitting or standing around. Little work is getting done; the less we do, the slower it feels that time moves, everyone wonders why we just don’t go home, and everyone leaves with a negative feeling for the day.
Happiness is doing something you know people are counting on and grateful for having.
