description: How to release productivity guilt and embrace the hidden values in our daily lives.Any given day brings a never-ending list of things to do. Theres the work thing the catch-up thing the laundry thing the creative thing the exercise thing the family thing the thing we dont want to do and the thing weve been putting off despite it being the most important thing. Even on days when we get a lot done the thing left undone can leave us feeling guilty anxious or disappointed. After five years of searching for the secret to productivity Madeleine Dore discovered there isnt one. Instead were being set up to fail. I Didnt Do the Thing Today is the inspiring call to take productivity off its pedestalby dismantling our comparison to others aspirational routines and the unrealistic notions of what can be done in a day we can finally embrace the joyful messiness and unpredictability of life.For anyone who has ever felt the pressure to do more be more achieve more this antidote to our doing-obsession is the permission slip we all need to find our own way.
