Is productivity important to you aka why is everyone suddenly obsessed with productivity? (1 Viewer)

[brekker]

as I have fallen into some youtube coma these holidays I have watched TONS of vlogs and through these a lot of pretty, aesthetic, productive vlogs came screaming to my face (until drama master saved me with her absolutely hilarious comedic videos about kdramas) and I have started to be wondering: like man, I have wanted to get better at organizing my life (because maybe one day my workspace would thank me for it???) but like isn´t this extreme? or am I just lazy.

the videos for reference:





btw, follow Keo he is one of my favourites because I love his cinematography


I see so many people being obsessed with studying? like it seems one part of youtube community is just OBSESSED with who can study more? how is that even healthy?
also to mention I even started admiring their notetaking methods just to find out my old college notes and they were so freaking organized I had to pat my past self on my shoulder. definitely a wasted career of a youtuber.
it´s Saturday, I haven´t done ANYTHING for work yet. I still have two episodes to finish of True Beauty.
Am I living an unproductive life??? am I living the wrong life???

i mean, it's important to remember that a lot of these youtubers and vloggers dont show you the whole picture. you just see the parts and days of their lives that they want you to see, they romanticize certain parts or put up an act for other parts. it seems a little unrealistic to me to be this productive and organized all day, every day, but if they can actually handle that more power to them i guess? imo there's nothing wrong with taking a few days off, or coming home from work and bingewatching your favorite kdrama. i think those videos should be seen as something to get you motivated and take tips and ideas from, rather than an ideal life everyone should try to achieve.

I honestly wish at least one of my weekdays was THAT productive :D

I think it's just people believing that doing nothing in itself is an inherently bad thing but like everything else in moderation it can be as can working yourself too much can also be a bad thing so need to find balance between the two

to each their own, if these youtubers feel comfortable living their lives like that (or at least close to that, no one knows if these videos are exactly what those people are doing) all the best to them but it's not for everyone. i like to joke around about myself being lazy but since i hate making plans if i had to live like this i'd feel like a robot. there's more to life than working and having everything perfectly scheduled.
