#burnout #work #stress

so ive noticed everyone around me treats their free time like its a side hustle waiting room now and i do it too, i cook dinner and im half watching a course on my phone propped against the toaster and i clean the kitchen while listening to a podcast about optimizing my mornings and somewhere in there i forgot what just sitting on the couch doing nothing feels like, my sister says im addicted to being productive and i got defensive about it which probably proves her point, i dont even know what im hustling toward anymore honestly it just feels like the only acceptable way to rest is to call it content

  1. This really resonates. I started scheduling actual nothing time on my calendar because otherwise it just gets eaten by something that feels productive.
