#productivity
Hello all, Allyson here!
The Studioblr Collective has been quiet for some time and that’s completely my fault, but the plan is to start anew in 2019!
We’ve got some great volunteers in the Studioblr Chat Discord server that are willing to help me with producing content and sharing great things about the art and design world. Personally, now that I’m graduated with a full-time design job, I feel even more qualified and more available to share some things I’ve learned and help direct this content in a more professional direction. I’d love for this to be a bigger blog and possibly site one day, but for now, articles, tips, features, and more on a Tumblr blog (and we’re planning also an Instagram) will be what we’re planning to achieve in 2019.
If anyone is interested in joining in this escapade you’ll have to be okay with using Google Drive and join the Discord server (sorry that’s where we’re discussing things) and let me know that you’re interested. You’ll get a role on the server for it to access the channel and stuff.
Responsibilities include helping write/brainstorm content and help to answer questions that we receive through the blog. We’ve gotten some asks already that I feel unqualified to answer, so I do need this team in order for this blog to continue being as helpful as it’s been in the past.
Anyway, happy 2018, and can’t wait to see what unfolds in 2019!

2/10 Days of Productivity
Well, turns out i was about to give up on the second day.
- Solved a few maths problems
That’s it. I need to study more, i’m falling behind on my one(1) and only summer class.
My To-Do List Pads available now for another few days.
30 x A5 to-do lists in each pad. Printed onto Envirocare 100% Recycled paper. Made & Printed in Australia.
it is perhaps more helpful to move the conversation away from “it’s okay not to be productive”to“we need to have a long hard think about what counts as productivity”.
if you’re ill (chronic or otherwise), it is productive to spend a day sleeping and resting up. your body needs you to rest so that it can heal.
but something that is true for everyone is that things like healing from trauma, learning new things, practicinghobbies,building relationships… are all productive ways to spend your time. just because you’re not making money doesn’t mean you’re not being productive.
looking after yourself is productive. looking after others is productive. hell, playing with your pet is productive.
productive means being in a state of producing something. that’s all it means. and when you’re doing the things your body needs you to do… you’re producing your own well-being. you’re producing neural pathways. you’re producing happiness.
if you can feel a sense of productivity from non-traditional productive actions… I think that’s a lot more helpful for your mental health than just claiming that productivity isn’t important. of course it’s okay to not be productive. but I know I feel better when I think of happiness as something I can produce.
