How productive are you during a typical workday? I struggle with giving myself grace when I don’t feel really productive. Some days are good, there’s a rare great one in there but I always walk away feeling like I can do more. I even use to do lists and checking things off fells good sometimes, but that feeling has been waning.

So, how would you describe your productivity during the typical workday?
