Being productive

It is an interesting concept how certain things are easier to accomplish. Why is it that you can be very productive at any given moment doing some things and not others? Today has been such a day, at least so far. Edited and uploaded images to the respective sites, caught up with e-mails and other messages, in general sitting in front of the computer and "working" on things that yesterday I did not have the motivation for. However on the same note what I did yesterday I don't have the motivation to accomplish today.

A quick search online directed me to a couple interesting sites that seem to, at least in theory give an explanation for the motivation or lack thereof that we feel at any give time. The first and often more commonly accessed source of Wikipedia had a long page that I am sure many contributed to and gives quite an overarching view of the theories out there. The second site was a more refined article with a number of theories and brief descriptions of what they meant. Although this is designed for the introduction of the subject of psychology to students and therefore refined to accomplish that task.

None-the-less the lesson to be learned is that being productive and sometimes even unproductive has its place. As one might note if they take the time to read the second article to the end, as Maslow puts it, when we become so productive and motivated that we reach self actualization, a state that normally no one reaches even though they come close; if we reach it we cease to live. The argument is, what more is there to live for if all is known and everything is already felt. And while I am very tempted to take this to a theological realm and continue to ask the question of then why does the concept of God prevail as one who is omni everything? Wont God cease to exist if there is nothing more to gain? I am not feeling motivated enough or particularly productive to answer that. Maybe you will and can. Great, I guess your level of productivity is greater than mine and you are closer to reaching self actualization... just remember that if you do I'll just live longer than you.
