Are you feeling like the most useless person on the planet as you are lying down on your bed staring at the ceiling 24x7 while your friends are bragging about their over-productive routine these days?

It's okay to feel like a piece of shit sometimes and do nothing but sulk in sadness. It's okay if you have broken another promise to complete all your incomplete books this time. It's okay if you are an artist and haven't created a masterpiece in days. It's okay if you are a working professional and you don't feel like working today. Don't force yourself to be creative or productive.

Whenever you get this feeling that you are being unproductive, it's just a sign that you should stop worrying and lay down for a while.

Why don't you make a cup of tea for your entire family and chat with them sitting in the balcony just like old times? Sneak into the kitchen while your mom is making your favourite dish and crack some of your lame jokes to make her laugh. Sit with your Dad sometimes and tell him the time when he taught you to ride the bicycle is still one of the best memories of your life.

If the home doesn't feel like home for you, it's okay. Step outside on your terrace, look at the sky and add your favourite songs in the playlist you have been making for a long time.

Call the friend from school who made you smile on your first day there, tell him/her sorry for the lack of communication and that you are grateful for their friendship.

Trust me, these little things will give you that feeling of wholesomeness which isn't less productive than all the things your friends are doing. Everyone is doing something or the other which makes them happy. If sleeping an extra hour makes you happy, that counts as a productive thing, too. Don't compare your happiness with others. Your mental peace is above everything else.

Stay home, be lazy and even if you are doing nothing, trust me, it's the best productive thing you can do right now.
