Depends what it's aimed at. I started a business and was very productive the first few years. That set me up for less work later. I'm extremely happy at my past productivity. And, at the time, I was also aware I was building something, so I generally felt happy, or at least with purpose. (There was a lot of stress then too) If you're just productive at....whatever and it isn't really driving towards something valued, I'm sure it feels very different.
