# My Personal Productivity Journey

How we spend our days is how we live our life. 

We hear this all the time. I try to live by it personally + professionally. 

For me, that journey involves finding the tools to be my best self on both sides of the equation. 

I can’t handle everything in my head. Our brains aren’t meant to track minute tasks anyway. 

When I eventually started tracking my habits against my goals + accomplishments, I realized a couple of simple, hard truths: 

I’m bad at focusing. And I carry a lot of stress and anxiety. 

Those emotions don’t help me reach my goals, but they’re solvable through mindfulness, intention, and a little bit of planning. 

Integrating those changes has been a massive undertaking. 

And I don’t think I’ve been alone on that journey. 

Mindfulness and intention are really in the zeitgeist these days, and tech is helping us inch towards those empowered, best selves.
