Productivity on a Rainy Day

I find that there's an assumption that working  at home means a lack of productivity. But when it's raining outside and there's no desperate need to be anywhere else, staying indoors and getting things done in the comfort of your own home can be just the thing.

Sometimes being productive doesn't even have to relate to work, it could be getting a bit of tidying done, or in my case writing a blog post. People often punish themselves when they don't do something that they think feels more productive (I am certainly guilty of this) but it's important to remember that you can move that to later in the day or to another day. The point is that whatever productive thing you do, whether it be small or large, you still did something. 

So in this gloomy rainy February I reckon working at home is the way to go. Pick up a book you've been meaning to read (I'm currently reading Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey), make a cup of tea and relax. As Londoner's we're constantly stressed and our minds have a million things in them at once. Taking care days like this are essential to declutter the brain and get things done in the warmth and safety of home. 

My destress day has involved writing this post, reading my book and doing a chapter of university work. It's doable, stress free and I managed to avoid all that rain.
