4 Zodiacs Who Care An Unhealthy Amount About ‘Being Productive’

It’s important to set goals for yourself. It’s important to stick to a schedule and create healthy habits. It’s important to reach for your wildest dreams. But you don’t want to hurt yourself in the process. You don’t want to end up sacrificing the other things that matter — your friendships, your hobbies, your mental health — in the name of being productive. Here are some zodiacs who are a little too obsessed with the idea of being productive and need to learn to relax:

Aries

Aries, you are more than your accomplishments. You have worth, simply because you exist. You don’t need to continuously prove yourself. You don’t need to spend every second of the day working in order to feel like you’re making good use of your time. Although your ambition is admirable, it’s dangerous to look down on the time you spend relaxing. You need rest too. You also need quality time with your favorite people. You don’t want to turn down plans all the time because you’re too busy working toward a certain goal. Yes, big dreams require a big commitment, but you can’t turn your work into your whole world. You can’t neglect the other areas of your life that matter or you’re going to end up miserable, even if you accomplish that big goal.

Virgo

Virgo, your world isn’t going to fall apart if you take a day or two to rest. You’re going to burn yourself out if you keep moving at the pace that you’ve been moving. You expect a ton from yourself because you have huge goals–which is fine–but that doesn’t give you the right to treat yourself so disrespectfully. You can’t deny your body the rest that it needs. You can’t keep pushing yourself without ever stopping to refuel yourself. Just because you can keep going doesn’t mean you should. After all, you deserve to have some fun. You deserve to relax. You deserve to sleep that extra hour and meet up with your friends. Having fun is another way to be productive. Productivity isn’t always about work.

Capricorn

Capricorn, you don’t want to waste a moment of your time. You want to get as much out of each hour as humanly possible, so you can go to sleep at night feeling like you had a productive day. But that’s the problem. Even when you’re at your most productive, you still aren’t happy with yourself. You still feel like you could have done more. You are never actually satisfied with what you’ve accomplished — and you’re rarely happy either because you aren’t giving yourself the opportunity to have fun. You need to stop caring so much about being productive because it’s slowly destroying you. Yes, you should continue working hard, but don’t let work become the only thing you do. Don’t forget about what else matters in this world.

Aquarius

Aquarius, you try to be as productive as possible today so you can relax tomorrow — except tomorrow never actually comes. You never actually give yourself that break you’ve been promising yourself, and that needs to change. You need to stop putting off fun and games. Stop making yourself earn a break. You deserve that break, whether you were productive enough today or not. Whether you met your goals or not. Stop being so hard on yourself because you deserve kindness from yourself. You deserve to be treated softer.
