Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
Your examples are true and important as well, people also need down time, relaxation, decompression.
You are correct that 'being bored' is the kind of ... mental space or mind state that often, seemingly accidentally leads to new ideas or a kind of 'lightbulb' moment.
You seem to be thinking I am fully disagreeing with you? I am not, your last two sentences are spot on.
I am just saying that you can reclaim the concept of 'productivity' away from your pay master, that 'productive' doesn't need to be a dirty word, per se.
I still also completely agree that... you should not feel compelled to feel any kind of productive, all the time, constantly. It is indeed fine to just... want to be unproductive, want to relax.
