Comment on Ask HN: How do you balance stress, productivity and mindfulness?

Comments

Worrying about balance would give me n+1 problems.

That's a really good point, the idea of chasing 'balance' could just become another stress point. The aim with Calmulate is more about finding ways to minimize stress and boost productivity, hoping that a sense of balance naturally follows. Have you found any specific practices or tools effective in reducing stress or improving your productivity, without adding to the pile of worries?

Not worrying about reducing my stress reduces my stress.

And I don’t worry about becoming more productive. I just try to show up and start doing some of what needs to be done and trust that I will get better at things with time.

I know that I think better when I am doing. Other people are probably different. I don’t know. I just know what tends to work for me.

Yeah that makes sense and sounds like a good system for you! Thanks for the feedback :)
