There are days when even small tasks feel meaningful, while other days feel wasted despite being busy. What creates that difference in perception? Is it mindset, rest, or expectations? What makes a day feel “well spent” to you?

I think it is mainly due to mindset. When people find meaning in what they do, they tend to interpret it as productive.
