"I’ve even meditated about productivity on the Headspace App. Seriously."
"Whimsy takes us out of necessity and shows us that what we classify as necessary is a choice we have made."
I love a good list too (ok, not just one list). Amanda Doyle on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast said once, "If there was something on a list that could save me, I would have been saved… There’s not a list that is going to deliver to me my humanity.”
I love this, too. We're very much alike in our daily quest for productivity (even my lists have lists). Love the whimsical pig! My antidote isn't so much whimsy as it is my dog Lily. Feeling stressed? Walk the dog. Overwhelmed and behind? Walk the dog. Frustrated? Go play with the dog!
I love this post, Kathryn. Your vulnerability woven throughout the post is impactful, and I love where you landed: whimsy as an anti-dote to hyper-productivity culture.
Love this, Kathryn! Especially these lines...

BOOM! I absolutely love Amanda Doyle's quote. Thank you for sharing it because I wasn't familiar with it, and it kicks (in the best possible way).
Ooh, I love the phrase “it kicks.” If you want to hear more Amanda, that quote was from either episode 238 or 239.

Dogs. Are. Awesome. 💕

Thank you so much, Jane Marie!
