The need to meditate to increase productivity

The trouble, it turns out, with almost having one's shit together is that the mind won't let you get through with increased productivity and clarity, the feeling of success, and will make you spend your time doing things that hold zero interest or relevance to what is to be done. So you will distract yourself on news websites, social websites, in exploration, and other random shit, and take back to the original task at hand, only when the 'spare' time that you hoped to use for more ambitious project such as working out, drawing, reading etcetera, is wasted by reading news about china and some shit. Really, you are your biggest enemy, and the greatest fix to that is meditation, being present in the moment, understanding that if you don't control the horse that is your heart, if you don't ride it, it will gallop away like a wild horse. The way to rein it in is learning to meditate, that's the practice of observing and bringing your mind to the right place. There is no short cut, there is no hack, there is no cheat, that's one technique one must master if one is to master productivity.
