This makes a lot of sense. If you don't have this healthy emotional foundation, all other efforts towards more surface-level stuff are going to be compromised.
It seems very likely that a happier person is going to be more productive/effective in all aspects of life, including work!
I guess the key is probably a balance of working on both at once; your underlying emotional health and happiness, as well as learning some higher level tricks relating to time management, managing your workload etc.
ya and weirdly a lot of the science behind happiness is just the basics like not having much stuff, keep the stuff you do have organized and leave some room for more, and all these little cuts that just add up to a better life.
It made me pay more attention to my energy levels and early warnings signs when I am pushing too hard. Which then made me better at helping my team with those, and making sure they were healthy/happy.
(i use happy but really what they mean in these is content / fulfilled)
