Did we get productivity figured out wrong
When did we decide to go along
With the idea that being busy throughout the day
Was to improve productivity the right way
We are not working on an assembly line
Repetitive work does not our productivity define
To perform higher executive tasks at a level high
To figure out how to solve problems and try
To make the world a better place for all
We need time to daydream, wonder and stall..

I find myself busy completing tasks constantly
(Many of those tasks I suspect are unnecessary)
Checking off boxes, moving to the next one
Until every single task is done
I am industrious, maybe like a worker bee
But that is not who I aspire to be..
*
I feel most productive when I have the luxury
Of time to think and be creative, when I’m not in a hurry
To cross tasks off a list, when I can actually design
A project for myself, to accomplish over a fluid timeline
*
Alas, today my list of things to do is quite extensive
To get through it, I have to perform labor intensive
I hope tomorrow would be a more productive day
And that I would have time to think, imagine and dream away..
Passion...unbridled
