Episode 3686: Anthony Ongaro explores the surprising value of doing things without a defined purpose, revealing how playfulness and curiosity can boost creativity, reduce burnout, and generate eustress, the good kind of stress. His reflections challenge the productivity-obsessed mindset, encouraging a return to simple joy, exploration, and intentional downtime. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/this-can-help-2/ Quotes to ponder: "Doing things for seemingly no purpose doesn’t mean it’s pointless." "Eustress being released into your body feels like pure excitement about being alive." "By assigning a purpose to everything you do, you risk losing enjoyment in those things."
