    It’s awful. It builds on the sick idea programmed into us that your productivity defines your worth as a human being.

      I don’t know. If I were more productive at making cookies, I would be happier because I could eat more cookies.

        Being productive in things you care about is a necessary part of self care and can enhance your happiness for sure.

        But that’s different than basing the value of actual people (including yourself) on productivity.
