People have the choice:

- They can say that dealing with "politics" is a waste of time and they'd rather be productive.
- They can show a genocide victim some empathy and receive answers like this.

At the end of 2026, when people will share their "Spotify Wrapped" again and "reflect back on their year", they can write in their diary that they listened to 52 audiobooks this year at 2x speed.

I will have a folder on my computer with screenshots of messages of love like this one.

No matter whether I'll be 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 years old and look back on those screenshots, I will feel so much more than any of these "productive" folks who can't remember the plot of a single audiobook they listened to at 2x speed.

#WorkLifeBalance: Let’s End #ToxicProductivity - Harvard Business Review “Toxic productivity is an unhealthy compulsion to be productive at all times, often at the expense of our #mentalhealth and physical well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life.” hbr.org/2024/11/lets...

Let’s End Toxic Productivity

"The human body is so incredible at signaling when it needs something. But we have all learned to ignore those signals as much as possible because they're a threat to our productivity and our focus at work."

People who are dealing with any kind of anxiety, ADHD, depression, any kind of mental health struggle, those are people who tend to have been called lazy throughout their lives. Any time they're out of energy or just having trouble getting through a really overwhelming moment or day, people can't see that internal struggle. They just judge it as them lacking willpower or being lazy.
