*"PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE"* --[capitalism](capitalism.md)
Productivity cult (often connected to terms such as *self improvement*, *personal growth*, *personal development* etc.) is one of [modern](modern.md) [capitalist](capitalism.md) religions which praises human productivity above everything, even happiness, well being, sanity etc. Kids nowadays are all about "how to get more motivated and productive", they make daily checklists, analyze tables of their weekly performance, count how much time they spend taking a [shit](shit.md) on the toilet, give up sleep to study some useless [bullshit](bullshit.md) required by the current market fluctuation. Productivity cult is all about voluntarily making oneself a robot, a slave to the system that worships capital. As [Froge](froge.md) put it: "The world of self improvement gurus is a circlejerk of such magnitude it rivals several world religions".

A human is living being, not a machine, he should live a happy relaxed life, dedicated to spending time with his close ones, raising children, enjoying the beauties of nature, exploring secrets of the universe, without stress; he should create when inspiration or a truly great necessity comes to him and when he does, he should take his time to carefully make the art great, without hasting it or forcing it. Productivity cult goes all against this, it proclaims one should be constantly spitting out "something", torturing and forcing himself, maximizing quantity on detriment of quality, undergo constant stress while suppressing rest -- that one should all the time be preoccupied with competitive [fight](fight_culture.md), deadlines, that art he creates is something that can be planned on schedule, made on deadline and assigned a calculated price tag to be an ideal consumerist product. If such stance towards life doesn't make you wanna puke, you most likely lack a soul.
A human is [living being](life.md), not a machine. He should live a happy relaxed life, dedicated to spending his limited time with relatives and friends, upbringing offspring, admiring the beauties of nature, exploring secrets of the [universe](universe.md), ideally without stress and unnecessary suffering; he should create when inspiration or exceptional necessity comes and when he does, he should take his time to carefully produce good [art](art.md), without haste, force or disgust. Productivity cult shits on this whole concept. It proclaims man should be constantly spitting out "something", torturing and forcing himself, maximizing quantity on detriment of quality, undergo constant stress while dodging rest and peace of mind -- that one should all the time keep himself preoccupied with [competitive](competition.md) [fight](fight_culture.md), deadlines, that art he creates is something that can be planned on schedule, made on deadline and assigned a calculated price tag to be an ideal consumerist product. If such stance towards life doesn't make you wanna puke, you most likely lack a soul.
Do not produce. Create. Art takes time and can't be scheduled or forced.
The name of the cult itself [gives away a lot](name_is_important.md). While a name such as *efficiency* would probably be better, as efficiency means doing less work with the same result and therefore having more free time, it is not a surprise that capitalism has chosen the word *productivity*, i.e. producing more which means working more, e.g. for the price of free time and mental health.

Those obsessed with productivity are mostly idiots lacking the ability to think independently, they sport desktops with "[motivational](motivation.md)" wallpapers preaching shit like "the word impossible doesn't exist in my dictionary!" and when you tell them if it wouldn't be better to rather establish a society where people wouldn't have to work they start screeching "HAHAA THATS IMPOSSIBLE IT CANT WORK". Productivity maximalists bully others for taking rest or doing what they otherwise enjoy in moderation -- they invent words such as "[procrastination](procrastination.md)" to create a feeling of ever present guilt induced by doing what one truly enjoys.
