I think many forms of stress, if lowered, will cause productivity to go down by some metric. The issue is the metric is so hard to get right. When people get stressed they do busy work that may look productive but are not especially productive in reality.

Which raises the question: How motivated must you be to be productive? That is, does a drop in motivation cause a like drop in productivity.

Put another way, just because you're being productive doesn't mean you're doing the right thing. Perhaps mindfulness means less work but better results?
