I think we are both consumers and producers at the same time. Every day, we go to work, we create something new, and at this time, we are in the producer position. When we come back home, we eat some food, surf on Facebook, watch Youtube and Tiktok videos, etc, at that time, we are in the consumer position. In my view, I'm a fan of the statement "consume less and produce more". I think to live a meaningful life, I should think more about what I can produce and contribute to life. Here are some ways I'm practicing to absorb more of the producer mindset:
1, Cut down mindset consumption and make time to create something
I usually hear the phrase "I don't have time." But I think the true sentence is that "I don't actively make time for it." If we want to do something, we will find out the solution. To have time for production, the first thing we can do is to cut down the time that we are wasting on consumption. Instead of spending so much time watching non-sense Tiktok videos, we can use this time to create a meaningful tutorial Tiktok video for our friends to watch. It's just a simple thing that we can do, but we might positively impact other lives.
2, Document my experience and share them with the public
In my view, I don't need to be very successful to share my experience. For example, I've learned English for over five years, and I have had some ups and downs in this journey. And I write my blog to share with people who are beginners in English. I hope that I can give them some helpful information about learning English for the first period. Because I've been through this, I might provide a clearer picture than a newbie. For me, I don't think too big. I think small and take the first step of adding value to others.
3, Working hard
Every time we go to work, we start doing something. It's thrilling when we work hard and start adding some nominal value to our company and being accepted by our boss and co-workers. Working usually makes us so much stress, but It can sometimes bring us so much joy—the joy of production.
I'm still on this journey to consume less and produce more. Everyone can be a consumer, but not many people can be a good producer, It's more challenging, but It will be worth it. Let's start the simple step every day.
