    Enhancing your productivity without an increase in your wage is just bending over even more for the people stealing your labor value.

    If you do get more efficient be sure to take longer breaks to offset it.

    I want to be as efficient as possible for my job. So I can get as much done in as little amount of time as possible so I can get back to my life. Only goal

        Yep, you must maximize your efficiency then drip feed your employer with your output. Then enjoy the downtime talking with the colleagues you like, browsing the Internet, listening to music/watching a video, or even anything else if you can work remote at least from time to time.

    They want to convince us that we “want” to be productive so that it seems to be our decision that we want to be trampled by our bosses, who are the ones who crave that productivity.

    “Productivity” is a way to convince you to equate your value as a person with how much of the fruits of your labor you hand over to the ownership class.

    I’m gonna make a slightly different take that isn’t centered around work. Productivity in general is a really good trait that should be encouraged. I am a much more fulfilled and happy person having been productive throughout my day like working on personal projects, going on a run, reading a book, cleaning my apartment, etc. IMO there is a lot of wasted time in social media, bingeing shows, etc. that doesnt really fulfill me. Not saying these things are bad, just that if I’m not productive I fill my time with things which really don’t matter. There are a lot of really awesome things out there that epitomize the phrase “labor of love”.

    Obviously, have some self respect and don’t destroy yourself for the sake of productivity especially when its for someone else.
