This mentality seems like a recipe for procrastination. Yes it would great if I always could be at my optimal functioning for whatever task is at hand. This never happens and my brain tries to convince me that I am too tired, hungry, or whatever else before starting an important task.

On the very important areas of my life, it is much more helpful that I do something each day to try to make progress. On the busiest or hardest days, this might just be watching 5 minutes of a video on that topic. That keeps up my habit of doing something and makes it less likely that I will forget things.

If I am 100% productive at doing something that isn't important, the result on my life is no progress.
