Performative Busyness

“I’ve spent my whole career as a “knowledge worker,” and I have seen it go poorly when some organizations (or individuals within organizations) try to measure the productivity of knowledge workers like they’re a part of an assembly line of some kind.

The Gospel Counsels You All Day Long

Ray Ortlund opens this post writing, “God put Ecclesiastes 11:10 in the Bible because he understands us. He feels for us in all our anguish—every dark emotion that holds us back from living free.

And if his provision includes counseling and medications, great. Thank you, Lord!”
